The tax authority's investigators arrived at the Sóstói Stadium in Székesfehérvár and seized documents and data carriers.
The Hungarian tax authority has conducted a raid at the Sóstói Stadium, seizing documents and data devices as part of an investigation into alleged financial misconduct by the local government regarding the football club Videoton. The investigation stems from a report filed months ago, accusing the municipality of mismanagement and budget fraud after it intervened to save the club. Mayor Cser-Palkovics stated that they are cooperating fully with the authorities, emphasizing that the municipality has nothing to hide. The situation has been ongoing for a year and a half, with the city initially acquiring the club for a symbolic price of one forint after it was relegated. Efforts to find a private owner have faced setbacks, including the invalidation of a tender and failed negotiations with potential buyers.
