The 13th district of Budapest signed a 9 billion forint (approximately €23.6 million) contract with a company recently implicated in a park maintenance scandal, just prior to arrests related to the case. The agreement includes a clause preventing termination unless the company fails to perform its duties adequately. Over the past several years, the district has awarded the firm multiple contracts totaling tens of billions of forints. This latest deal marks the fourth multi-billion forint agreement between the district and the company. Details surrounding the nature of the park maintenance issues prompting the investigation have not been fully disclosed. The timing of the contract raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and due diligence procedures. Authorities are currently investigating allegations of impropriety related to the park maintenance contracts.
