An October investigation alleged that Hungarian operatives working under diplomatic cover at the country’s EU representation sought information from EU staff between 2012 and 2018, claims that Budapest has denied. The European Commission opened an internal inquiry and later said it had found no serious security breach, no evidence that Commission staff had been successfully recruited, and no basis to attribute individual responsibility beyond the intelligence officers themselves. It also cleared Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi of personal wrongdoing. In Budapest, prosecutors have questioned János Hajdu, the former head of the Counter Terrorism Centre (TEK), as a suspect over the detention of seven couriers working for Ukraine’s Oschadbank during a March raid on a cash‑and‑gold convoy; the assets were returned to Ukraine in May. Both cases keep attention on the legacy of Viktor Orbán’s former administration as Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s government faces pressure to investigate alleged abuses by Orbán-era officials.
