Court: Miklós Seszták hid away 9 billion forints somewhere, only empty safes were found in his house

The court has extended the detention of former Minister Miklós Seszták due to concerns about potential asset concealment and influencing witnesses. Investigators found empty safes at his residence, suggesting he may have hidden 9 billion HUF in cash. The court noted the risk of Seszták attempting to hide additional undiscovered assets. His defense attorney requested the termination of the detention and proposed a 300 million HUF bail, which is a fraction of the missing amount. Seszták faces serious allegations of bribery totaling 12.6 billion HUF, linked to his official position and actions in a criminal conspiracy.
