“ Segundo informações da press, Viktor Orbán’s brother, Áron Orbán, was arrested on suspicion of trafficking in human beings,” wrote Péter Magyar in his official Facebook social network account.
The head of government was referring to a Kontroll report, a news portal that belongs to your brother.
The Hungarian police reported earlier that “several people were arrested” in Budapest and in two cities in the neighbouring Pest region, during an operation carried out in two ongoing criminal cases.
“ Searches are being conducted in the homes of the investigated ", said the police, promising to disclose more details in the afternoon about the alleged infringements.
Pro-European conservative Péter Magyar came to power in May with the promise to dismantle the “Orbán system” and combat corruption that undermined the country for years.
Three former ministers are currently being held, including György Matolcsy, who led the Central Bank for 12 years and who, in the past, was regarded by Orbán as his “right arm”.
