Viktor Orban's brother will remain in custody. The court had no doubts

The court spokesman said there were no doubts as to the validity of the charges against any of the persons involved in the proceedings.

Four people (one was placed under police supervision and the other remains at large) are suspected of operating in an organized criminal group in order to obtain financial benefits. They are suspected of helping at least one hundred Vietnamese citizens illegally cross the border into Hungary.

They were supposed to come for training, they wanted to get to the West

These people officially applied to enter Hungary to participate in short training programs. However, investigators suspect that many of them never took part in the classes, and others stayed in the country after their visas expired. The authorities believe that the real destination was Western Europe, where as migrants they could count on better job prospects and living conditions.

The suspects allegedly acted as intermediaries in visa procedures with the participation of Hungarian diplomatic missions in Vietnam, charging fees for their services.

The former prime minister points to the political motives of the case

Former prime minister and leader of the opposition Fidesz, Viktor Orbán, commented on the detention of his brother on Monday. In a post on Facebook, he said that the real goal of the operation was himself and that his brother was "merely a means to achieve an end."

"We are dealing with settling scores, which serves to divert attention," he wrote.

"The former prime minister, as usual, immediately started accusing others and, like the 'brave' street fighter he claims to be, he immediately presented himself as a victim," commented the current head of government, Péter Magyar.
