The Hungarian prosecutor's office questioned Magyar in the phone theft case

Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said prosecutors questioned him in connection with the theft of his phone.

The Hungarian Parliament at the end of September stripped Magyar of parliamentary immunity at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, which charged him with theft. In June 2024, in a club in Budapest, Magyar got into a verbal altercation with another visitor because he had filmed him with a gadget. The future prime minister took the phone from him, put the gadget in his pocket, and then threw it into the Danube.

“Tonight, at a pre-agreed time, I was interrogated by the Central Investigative Prosecutor’s Office in connection with the events of June 21, 2024. I gave a brief testimony and pleaded not guilty to the crime charged against me,” Magyar wrote on the social network Facebook*.
