Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against lawyer Pál Fürcht by the Budapest Bar Association

The Budapest Bar Association initiated a disciplinary procedure against lawyer Lóránt Horváth following a statement from the Chief Prosecutor's Office. Horváth, known for representing detained Ukrainian money couriers, is accused of making inappropriate statements that could compromise his clients' interests. The prosecution claims he has been systematically attacking their credibility since June 2026 and has made public statements suggesting complicity in criminal activities. Horváth responded by accusing the prosecution of coordinated actions against him, coinciding with the upcoming Bar elections. He argues that such actions are unprecedented and could influence the election outcome.
