The 24.hu portal revealed details of the costs of Minister Szijjártó's official foreign trips in 2022–2026 after the change of government, while former Development Minister Miklós Seszták was detained in Budapest on charges of corruption related to accepting bribes in 2015–2018.
In total, as many as eight items on the list of expenses concerned the costs of "unused special aircraft."
An example is the planned trip to Cairo in September 2024, during which the most expensive private jet was booked. Ultimately, the flight was canceled and the minister flew in a military machine. Despite this, as much as 89 million forints were paid for the unused plane.
The 24.hu portal reports that it tried to obtain information on expenses in the previous term, but the ministry refused to provide the data at that time. Only now, after the change of government, details about the costs of all official foreign trips of Minister Szijjártó in 2022–2026 have been revealed.
Detention of the former Minister of Development on corruption charges
This is not the only scandal that has shaken the Hungarian political scene. On Monday, Miklós Seszták, former minister of development in Viktor Orban's government, was detained in Budapest. The politician was charged with corruption and his immunity was previously waived by parliament.
According to Seszták's lawyer, the former minister himself appeared at the prosecutor's office to provide explanations, emphasizing that he did not understand the charges against him.
According to the prosecutor's office, proceedings are underway against Seszták for accepting bribes and other crimes that allegedly occurred in 2015–2018.
Investigative findings show that the former minister and the president of the state-owned property management company received - through an intermediary - over 11 billion forints. A representative of one of the investment and construction groups allegedly offered Seszták a payment of 10 percent of the contractor's remuneration for each investment in exchange for his favor in awarding public contracts.
The company in question obtained several priority government contracts during this time, which - according to investigators - confirms the corruption mechanism.
