Bribery probe nears end, may implicate Budapest's left-wing politicians

An investigation into alleged bribery may be nearing its conclusion, with potential repercussions for Budapest's left-wing politicians. An anonymous insider has reportedly sent a letter to former ministerial commissioner Gyula Budai, detailing suspicious financial activities.

The letter claims that Mór Vig, associated with a security firm located near the Mammut shopping center, visited the company's offices to "settle accounts." These accounts allegedly pertain to sums of money withdrawn from the Lánchíd investment project. The insider further alleges that substantial amounts of this money were then funneled to the left-wing political faction in Budapest.

Based on this information, Budai has filed a complaint with the authorities on suspicion of bribery. His complaint has reportedly been attached to the case files of an ongoing investigation into an "invoice factory" scheme, suggesting a potential link between the two financial irregularities. The authorities are now expected to examine these new claims as part of their broader inquiry.
