"Circumstances indicating the destruction of evidence have also emerged" – György Matolcsy's arrest has been confirmed on appeal.

The Budapest Court rejected György Matolcsy's appeal against his detention, citing risks of evidence tampering and flight due to his connections. The court emphasized the danger of the suspects becoming unreachable, especially given the involvement of Matolcsy's son and another associate, both of whom are currently abroad. The court found that the potential for influencing evidence and the close relationships among the suspects justified the continuation of detention. It also noted that Matolcsy's previous clean record does not eliminate the risk of reoffending, as he may still play an informal leadership role in the alleged crimes. The court deemed alternative measures insufficient due to the complexity of the case and the ongoing investigation.
