The European and international arrest warrants have been issued against Ádám Matolcsy and György Stofa

On October 27, 2026, the Budapest Central District Court issued European and international arrest warrants for two individuals involved in a significant economic fraud case linked to the Hungarian National Bank (MNB). The suspects, M. Ádám György and S. György, are believed to be abroad, complicating their interrogation. The court found the issuance of arrest warrants justified due to the nature of the crimes and potential penalties. Matolcsy György, former MNB president, was arrested last week and is accused of attempting to manipulate the management of MNB's foundation assets before his term ended, allegedly causing substantial financial harm. The court expressed concerns that the suspects might influence witnesses or destroy evidence if released.
