This was Matolcsy's most brazen and clumsiest maneuver

György Matolcsy and associates were detained over a foundation-related case, initially reported by 444 last April. The operation involved a controversial attempt to transfer assets from central bank foundations to Matolcsy's family business. This occurred on Matolcsy's last day as central bank governor, raising questions about the motivations behind the move. Economic journalists discussed the implications of this incident, highlighting the intertwining of state and party in Hungary under Viktor Orbán's regime.
