The detention of Miklós Seszták has been extended until the end of January.
The court has extended Miklós Seszták's detention until January 30, amid allegations of accepting bribes during his ministerial term. The National Asset Recovery and Protection Office requested the extension due to concerns about flight risk and evidence tampering. Seszták, a former development minister and KDNP representative, was arrested in late September and is accused of accepting substantial bribes from construction companies. He maintains his innocence and is prepared to defend himself. His lawyer claims the arrest was premature, occurring before the suspension of his parliamentary immunity was published, but the court deemed the detention lawful.
