Hungary launches comprehensive audit of state ties with 4iG
Hungary's Tisza government has ordered an audit of state contracts with 4iG while committing €500 million to the EU's IRIS² satellite initiative.
Hungary's Tisza administration has formally initiated a comprehensive audit into financial, ownership, and contractual ties between the state and technology conglomerate 4iG. The official gazette resolution signals a broad examination of all direct and indirect government agreements with the group.
The probe comes as Science and Technology Minister Zoltán Tanács reaffirmed a €500 million investment into the European Union's IRIS² satellite network over the coming years. However, 4iG's role as a primary contractor for the initiative remains unconfirmed.
To control communications during the assessment, the government has placed a reporting ban on officials concerning 4iG. The company described itself as a state "partner" as the transition continues.
