The arrest of the man leading the criminal organization, who is the son of a former state secretary, has been ordered.

The Budapest Prosecutor's Office has requested the arrest of a man leading a criminal organization involved in significant budget fraud. This individual, who is the son of a former state secretary, allegedly caused substantial financial harm to the central budget by misreporting employees through a shell company. The investigation by the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) has led to multiple arrests and significant asset seizures, with the total financial damage exceeding 9 billion HUF. The prosecutor's office believes that the man's presence in the proceedings poses a risk of evidence tampering and reoffending, prompting the request for strict detention measures. The decision on the arrest will be made by an investigative judge soon.
