György Matolcsy has been taken into custody

György Matolcsy, former central bank governor, was detained on suspicion of economic fraud and document forgery. His lawyer stated that the interrogation had not yet begun. The Central Investigative Prosecutor's Office is conducting extensive operations related to the MNB case, which involves significant financial misconduct. The State Audit Office previously reported potential crimes linked to the National Bank's foundation, alleging mismanagement of funds invested in foreign real estate companies. Following a government change, the investigation was transferred to the Chief Prosecutor's Office.
