Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has publicly called for the swift removal of individuals linked to what he termed the “Hungarian Cosa Nostra,” an alleged organized crime network. Orbán urged the chief prosecutor to accelerate investigations and prosecutions targeting these figures, citing concerns about national security and the rule of law. He specifically referenced ongoing cases involving substantial EU funds fraud and alleged corruption within the judicial system. The Prime Minister’s statement follows reports of increasing concerns regarding organized crime’s influence in Hungary. Opposition parties have criticized Orbán, accusing him of exploiting the issue for political gain and questioning the timing of his intervention. The prosecutor’s office has acknowledged the request and stated it will continue its work independently, adhering to legal procedures. This public demand represents a significant escalation in the government’s rhetoric regarding organized crime.
