Hungarian chief public prosecutor submits report on prosecutor’s office to parliament
Change language:
The number of registered crimes has dropped to one third compared with a decade ago, and the Hungarian prosecutor’s office maintains good relations with the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO), Péter Polt, the chief public prosecutor said in a report to lawmakers about his office’s activities last year.
The number of registered crimes, including crimes against life, fell by 5.2 percent last year, while the number of human smuggling offences increased, the public prosecutor’s office said in a statement on Wednesday.
Polt’s report addressed corruption in detail and insisted that subjective assessments based on perception indicated a very different picture from the facts. Objective data show that the situation concerning corruption is no different in Hungary from the average in European Union member states, except for the health-care sector, the report said.
