And then they brought out the budget, Matolcsy was taken in
A recent investigation led to the arrest of former central bank governor György Matolcsy and the issuance of an international arrest warrant for his son, Ádám Matolcsy, on charges of economic fraud exceeding 500 million HUF. The court justified their detention by citing risks of witness tampering and potential destruction of evidence. The investigation focuses on a suspected fraudulent contract linked to the central bank's foundation. Meanwhile, the government presented the 2027 budget, aiming for a 4.9% deficit and emphasizing spending cuts. Key tax changes include the discontinuation of tax exemptions for mothers with two children and the introduction of a new housing support program targeting young adults. The government is also reviewing the expansion of the Paks nuclear plant without Rosatom's involvement.
