Budapest court confirms detention of Áron Orbán in visa corruption probe
A Budapest court confirmed the one-month pretrial detention of Áron Orbán, brother of former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, over alleged human trafficking and visa corruption.
A Budapest court has ordered the one-month pretrial detention of Áron Orbán, the brother of former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, alongside his partner. The decision follows their arrest during a joint operation by the National Bureau of Investigation and the National Asset Recovery and Protection Agency.
Two other suspects face legal proceedings related to the investigation into alleged human trafficking and illicit visa issuance; one remains under criminal supervision while the other continues without custody. Prime Minister Péter Magyar initially highlighted the arrests after independent outlets reported on the police raid. Hungarian judicial authorities have not yet disclosed complete evidence regarding the allegations.
