A criminal complaint has been filed against Hungary’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, specifically relating to actions during Péter Szijjártó’s tenure as minister. The complaint focuses on a 300 billion forint (approximately €780 million) procurement process undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic. Details regarding the specific allegations are currently inaccessible due to a paywall on the source website. However, the complaint suggests potential irregularities in how funds were allocated and spent in response to the health crisis. This action marks a formal challenge to the ministry’s handling of pandemic-related financial transactions. The investigation will likely center on whether the procurement process followed legal and ethical standards. The complaint represents a significant development in scrutiny surrounding government spending during the pandemic in Hungary.
