Two criminal complaints have been filed against Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar following testimony by his former wife, former justice minister Judit Varga, UNIAN reported, citing Magyar Nemzet. The accusations concern alleged extortion and domestic violence; they are not findings of guilt.
UNIAN detailed a complaint by former Fidesz lawmaker Ilona Ékes to Hungary’s Central Investigative Prosecutor’s Office. According to the report, her complaint draws on Varga’s testimony to a parliamentary investigative committee and media reports. Ékes asked prosecutors to open an investigation and examine potential evidence.
Ékes alleges that Magyar recorded a conversation with Varga in their shared home in January 2023 without her knowledge or consent, and that the recording was used for blackmail from January 2023 to March 2024. She also alleges threats concerning divorce proceedings, the division of property and where their children would live.
UNIAN’s report did not specify when the complaints were filed, confirm that prosecutors had opened an investigation or include Magyar’s response to the allegations.
