The Kecskeméti Törvényszék (Kecskemét Court) has rejected the appeal of Balázs Hankó, a Member of Parliament affiliated with the Fidesz party. This decision means Hankó will remain in custody. Simultaneously, Veronika Varga-Bajusz, who served as a state secretary until November 1st, is also being held and has not been granted release. The court’s ruling extends the detention period for both individuals, indicating ongoing legal proceedings. Details surrounding the reasons for their initial arrest and the ongoing investigation have not been released. The case is drawing attention to legal processes within Hungary and the implications for political figures involved. This outcome suggests the court deemed the initial grounds for their detention sufficiently valid to warrant continued custody while the investigation proceeds.
