— 6h
Hungary’s anti-corruption authorities seized about $19.5 million in cash hidden in forests, buildings and safes during an investigation into former National Development Minister Miklós Seszták, who is accused of taking bribes tied to public contracts. The case is part of a broader government drive to investigate alleged corruption under Viktor Orbán, whose allies have characterized the probes as political persecution.
