Hungarian court sent Orbán's brother to custody

A month-long detention has been ordered for Áron Orbán, brother of former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, amid allegations of facilitating illegal immigration for Vietnamese citizens. Along with his girlfriend and two others, they are accused of helping at least 100 Vietnamese enter Hungary since 2022, allegedly charging fees for visa assistance. Authorities conducted searches at multiple locations, seizing electronic devices and documents as evidence. Investigative journalists had previously scrutinized Áron's visa-related business, which was largely ignored until the recent change in government. Viktor Orbán served as Prime Minister from 2010 until losing elections earlier this year.
