Six politicians were detained at the beginning of June for suspected involvement in a corrupt business practice. Among them is Őrsi Gergely, the current mayor of District II, along with former officials and members of the Fidesz party. The Central Office of the Prosecutor has confirmed that the detention of five suspects will be extended, while the Fidesz member Puskás Péter was released because the reasons for his detention have been resolved.

The Budapest Central District Court has extended the pretrial detention of several individuals involved in a corruption case related to municipal contracts. These include Gergely Őrsi, former mayor of the II. district, Zsolt Láng, former mayor of the same district, and Zsolt Molnár, a former MP from the MSZP party, until October 4. The Central Investigative Prosecutor’s Office (KNYF) requested the extension for seven suspects, including these three and other Momentum politicians and two entrepreneurs. However, the prosecutor’s office lifted the detention for Péter Puskás, a former deputy mayor from the III. district. According to the KNYF, a businessman allegedly bribed officials across multiple municipalities between 2011 and 2024, spending over 2 billion forints to secure contracts and influence political decisions. The investigation suggests that bribes were distributed among different political factions, with amounts split in varying proportions depending on political alliances. Additionally, the businessman allegedly bribed officials from both the II. and III. districts, including current and former mayors and local representatives, to ensure favorable treatment for his firms.

The article reports on a corruption case involving a former Fidesz deputy mayor in Budapest’s III district, Puskás Péter, who allegedly accepted bribes from a businessman. The businessman regularly paid Puskás and other local politicians to secure contracts and influence decisions, including through the support of Matisz Károly, a party official. The prosecution highlighted that after a political shift in the municipality, the ratio of influence between Puskás and his counterpart, Czeglédy Gergő, was reversed. Additionally, the businessman was involved in a separate scheme where he facilitated bribery by a company group led by Gy. Tamás to secure municipal contracts. The article notes that the businessman, identified as Z. Zsolt, previously owned the Pannon Park Forest Kft., which was accused of multiple serious crimes, including budget fraud and economic offenses. Despite these allegations, the prosecutor proposed a lenient sentence due to Z. Zsolt’s cooperation with authorities and admissions made during an earlier investigation.
