Hungary’s Integrity Authority has issued an apology after the name of Árpád Potápi, a former official who passed away two years ago, appeared on a risk list of individuals obligated to submit asset declarations. The authority explained that the list was compiled for a specific period and included Potápi’s name as he held office at the time the list was generated. This inclusion was an error resulting from the time-bound nature of the data collection. The incident has raised questions regarding data management practices within the Integrity Authority. Officials have stated they are reviewing procedures to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The apology acknowledged the sensitivity of the issue and the distress it may have caused. The authority maintains its commitment to transparency and accountability in its operations.
