Seszták's lawyer denied that his client ever kept cash in the safe mentioned by the court.

Papp Gábor, the lawyer of Miklós Seszták, denied allegations that the former minister stored cash in a safe, claiming it only contained documents. The investigation suggests that Seszták might have held 9 billion HUF in cash at home, but Papp stated that the court did not confirm such details during the arrest hearing. He emphasized that no cash was seized from Seszták, only assets like bank accounts and properties were affected. The court extended Seszták's detention based on a proposal from the National Asset Recovery and Protection Office, following a search that reportedly found empty safes at his residence. The investigation continues amid claims of significant cash holdings.
