Telex: Orbán's team continued to deceive Vietnamese people even after the authorities began investigating them.
Áron Orbán and his associates allegedly continued to sell visas even after authorities became aware of their activities in autumn 2024. They were arrested for helping individuals from Vietnam obtain visas illegally. The scandal began when a recording surfaced of Orbán discussing visa applications being blocked by consuls. Despite the ongoing investigation, the group reportedly solicited payments for visas as late as February 2025, knowing they could not provide them. Victims claimed they paid significant sums for visas but received nothing in return. The case is viewed as a criminal matter rather than a political issue, with no evidence implicating Viktor Orbán.
