The Orbán government’s real estate buyer blocked the handover of the Wesselényi Castle in Zsibó to the Romanian state with a corporate trick.

The Manevi Zrt. acquired the Wesselényi Castle in Romania through a shell company, blocking the Romanian state's right of first refusal. Despite the Romanian Supreme Court declaring the sale invalid, the castle remains under Hungarian state ownership due to corporate maneuvers that obscured its true ownership. The acquisition involved a rapid resale to Manevi Zrt. after a brief ownership by a local company, circumventing legal protections for heritage sites. The Romanian authorities are now forced to initiate new legal proceedings to reclaim the property, which has been hidden under a subsidiary company.
