Hungary launches comprehensive audit of state ties with 4iG

The Hungarian government has initiated a comprehensive review of state relations with technology and telecommunications conglomerate 4iG Group. Following a decree published in the official gazette, authorities are auditing all ownership, financial, and contractual agreements linked to the company and its subsidiaries.

Alongside the audit, the cabinet has reportedly placed a communications blackout across ministries regarding 4iG matters. While Science and Technology Minister Zoltán Tanács reaffirmed Hungary's planned €500 million investment into the European Union's IRIS² satellite constellation, the administration is re-evaluating whether 4iG will continue to manage related state contracts. The move marks a notable shift in oversight toward the defense and IT giant, which expanded rapidly through major public tenders in recent years.
