Former Hungarian Culture Minister Detained Over Cultural Fund Misappropriation
Hungarian prosecutors detained Balazs Hanko, a former culture minister and sitting MP in Viktor Orban's Fidesz party, on Monday after lawmakers stripped his parliamentary immunity. He is suspected of misappropriation at the National Cultural Fund, which investigators say channelled billions of forints to Fidesz-linked artists through a non-transparent process. Hanko called it a political show trial. Former minister Miklos Sesztak was detained the same day on separate bribery allegations.
