Former head of Hungary’s Counterterrorism Center, János Hajdu, has been questioned by authorities as a suspect in connection with a raid on a cash transport from Ukraine. The Prosecutor’s Office alleges Hajdu committed seven counts of unlawful detention and mistreatment. Hajdu has provided testimony regarding the allegations but maintains his innocence, denying the charges leveled against him. Details surrounding the raid and the specific nature of the alleged mistreatment have not yet been publicly disclosed. The investigation is ongoing, and further information is expected as the case progresses. This development marks a significant escalation in scrutiny surrounding the incident involving the Ukrainian cash transport. The questioning of a former high-ranking security official raises questions about potential overreach or misconduct within Hungary’s counterterrorism apparatus.
