Hungary Recovers Nearly 20 Million Euros in Anti-Corruption Probe of Former Officials
Hungarian authorities have recovered nearly 20 million euros in cash during an anti-corruption investigation targeting former ministers from Viktor Orban's government, including Miklos Sesztak. The cash was found buried in forests, farm buildings, warehouses, and a safe. The probe, part of a campaign called "Operation Purgatory" launched by Prime Minister Peter Magyar's administration, has led to arrests, including former central bank chief Gyorgy Matolcsy. Orban's brother was also detained in a separate case, which Orban called politically motivated. The campaign has significant public support.
