Áron Orbán, brother of former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has been detained under suspicion of smuggling human beings, according to press reports, Péter Magyar said on Monday.
Péter Magyar wrote on social networks that the National Office on the Protection and Protection of Riches ( NVVH and the National Bureau of Investigation ( NNI) are continuing their investigation.
The NVVH announced on Monday that some people have been detained in a case linked to human trafficking in Budapest and in Pest County.
Under this operation, arrests and searchhouses are being carried out at several locations in the capital and in the Pest district, foreign media are being recorded, Telegrafi conveys.
NNI investigators and staff NVVH is taking investigative action parallelly and jointly in two criminal proceedings currently under way.
Details about crimes and investigative acts are expected to become known during the afternoon.
Central Investigation Prosecutor ( KNYF) declared the MTI agency on April 24th that it had ordered the month-long detention of the two suspects in a case related to temporary employment agencies, the decision taken by the Buddha Central District Court.
Investigators believe the suspects had promised to provide employment permits, citing their trust relations with influential officials, and then shared with them 17,000 euros taken as advance by a businessman for that purpose.
KNYF disclosed that it has questioned four people as suspected of exercising illegal influence and other criminal acts, while two of them have been detained.
According to the prosecution, the court has approved the request to prevent the suspects, with the argument that there is a danger of them escaping, hiding or interfering with evidence of the case.
Victor Orbán, leader of the opposition Fidesz party, said on Facebook that he was the real target of the operation, while his brother was simply a means to achieve the goal.
Orbán added that the government on Monday must answer questions before the parliamentary commission for national security, concerning the discovery of secret services files from the communist era.
This is a score write-off that is being used to distract attention, Obán said. What’s happening in Hungary is not an account, it’s an accounting. When something is wrong with the government, AVH intervenes, he said, referring to the communist-era secret police.
The purpose of this dirty game is to eliminate the political opponent and build a one-party system, Orbán said, adding: I am the target; my brother is just a means to achieve purpose. /Telegraph/
