The Hungarian Parliament has voted to revoke Prime Minister Péter Magyar's immunity over a mobile phone theft incident in 2024 while he was a Member of the European Parliament (EP). Telex reports this.
“Two weeks after the 2024 European Parliament elections, on June 21, Magyar had an argument with a man who was filming him in a nightclub in Budapest in the early morning. Magyar suddenly snatched the phone from the victim’s hands and then threw it into the Danube. The phone was later recovered from the water with the help of divers,” the authors of the material explain.
In September 2024, the Prosecutor General's Office appealed to the European Parliament (EP) with a request to grant immunity to Magyar, but they refused to do so. The investigation was resumed in May of this year. The Hungarian prime minister asked members of his Tisza party to suspend his immunity, saying that he had not committed a crime and “would have acted the same way as he did then.”
Now a criminal case will be opened against him.
