Ukrainian spy scandal in Hungary: Péter Magyar says that the detained “spy”, Holló, was in PM Orbán’s inner circles

Change language:

Péter Magyar, the challenger of PM Viktor Orbán in the 2026 general elections, wrote that the final countdown for Orbán has started. He said that although the propaganda outlets of the Orbán regime tried to drag his Tisza Party into the so-called espionage scandal, István Holló, an alleged Ukrainian spy, was in PM Orbán’s inner circles, having joint businesses with a former Fidesz MP.

Ukrainian ‘spy’ did business with Fidesz-circles

According to the post Magyar shared, István Holló, a Ukrainian national accused of espionage who was arrested by the Hungarian authorities yesterday, was in Orbán’s inner circles doing business with, for example, a former Fidesz MP, András Kupper. Magyar said Holló had joint businesses (Rayrai and Steriflow Ltd.) with Kupper and his father, the “master of the Budapest parking business”.

Magyar said László Tasnádi, a secretary of the Hungarian interior ministry, can also be connected to those companies. According to the ex-husband of Former Justice Minister Judit Varga, Holló did business until September 2024 with the elite of Orbán’s System of National Cooperation (NER).

Magyar highlighted that Tasnádi started to liquidate his billion-forint corporate interests in the autumn of 2024. Szabad Európa wrote that Sándor Pintér, Hungary’s interior minister, does the same with his and his family’s corporate interests.

Magyar said the Ukrainian espionage scandal is part of a vendetta inside the “Fidesz mafia”. That is how the Orbán dynasty would like to decrease the value of the fortunes they want to take over, he concluded.

  1. What a pit of slime Fidesz politics is. It just gets worse and worse. The 2026 election looks so far away. What scandals, what disasters, what tactics of oppression of the Hungarian people are coming between now and then? The EU is now considering pulling all funding from Hungary. The country is going off a cliff.

    • I think we’ve already gone off the cliff, Larry. The pain from the impact at the bottom is going to be excruciating for all of us.

    • Don’t you live in Canada? What do you care?

      (And I’ll bet my bottom CA$ that you live in the whitest part of the country imaginable, where you are far away from the fruits of the policies you like so much.)

  2. On the one hand, we hear that Ukrainian spies is fake news, concocted by Orban to distract from the supposed disasters supposedly happening to the country under his stewardship.

    On the other hand, not only are there indeed Ukrainian spies in the country, but they are sitting in Orban’s own office!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
