  • Bangó Sándor, a witness in the "Uncle Zsolt" case, is again seeking donations from followers.
  • He previously claimed a politician sexually assaulted him in an institution but later withdrew his police report due to lack of evidence.
  • Sources indicate Bangó has recently resumed spending lavishly, raising questions about his financial situation and the purpose of the new fundraising effort.

Bangó Sándor, a figure who gained notoriety through interviews detailing alleged abuse, has resurfaced, this time appealing to his followers for financial support. His recent public statements, particularly those made to Kontroll, have reignited attention on his past claims.

In earlier interviews, Bangó described an alleged sexual encounter with a politician he identified as "Uncle Zsolt" within an institution. Following the publication of these interviews, a crowdfunding campaign was launched to raise 50,000 euros for him to start a new life. However, Bangó later announced he would not file a police report, citing insufficient evidence to proceed.

Despite this, his intentions shifted again, and he indicated he would supplement his police statement. Meanwhile, sources close to Bangó have observed a significant change in his financial behavior. He has reportedly begun spending lavishly again, with acquaintances noting his recent spending spree. This comes after a period where he had previously received substantial funds, including a significant portion of the 48,000 euros raised through the crowdfunding initiative.

Information gathered suggests Bangó grew up as an orphan and experienced considerable trauma and abuse. However, accounts also portray him as a highly aggressive individual who frequently provokes others and deceives with falsehoods. His health issues meant he was treated with extreme caution by others in the institution, who avoided any physical altercations with him. Attempts to verify Bangó's claims about accessing parts of the institution have been met with skepticism, as security protocols, including CCTV, were reportedly stringent.
