Counter-terrorism officer accused of stealing valuable items from President Sulyok
According to information reported by a Hungarian media outlet, a counter-terrorism officer from the Counter-Terrorism Centre (TEK) may have stolen valuable books from Sándor Palace, the Hungarian President’s residence in Buda Castle.
President Sulyok was reportedly robbed
Citing 24.hu, the valuable codices were allegedly taken home by an unnamed TEK officer. TEK is Hungary’s elite unit responsible for protecting the prime minister, the president, and other high-ranking state officials, as well as providing security at state events. The officer is also said to have attempted to purchase the codices, although this attempt was unsuccessful.
The Hungarian media outlet reports that the case involves several high-value codices. Journalists contacted the press offices of both TEK and Sándor Palace. Neither issued a denial: TEK stated that it was not authorised to comment, while the police gave a similar response to 24.hu.

Interestingly, the press office of the Hungarian President indicated that it was unaware of the matter.
The Central Chief Prosecutor’s Office of Investigation told 24.hu that an investigation into the case is currently under way. Officials confirmed that several high-value books had been stolen but declined to provide further details in the interests of the investigation.

If your “Counter Terrorism” officers are stealing items from the President you know your country has a problem with corruption. What an embarassment for any self-respecting security force and these are the people at the very top of Hungary’s security. If they can do that how can you trust them with anything? TEK looks like a band of complete amateurs.
@Larry,So just because there’s one bad apple in the basket, all the other apples are bad too?! In Belgium, there is currently an investigation into the top police officers for corruption and misuse of public funds!If I have to follow your reasoning, then this means that the entire police force is corrupt?
Sure. Just one bad apple to look after your life from terrorist threats. Who cares? How silly I am to criticize these people.
Hugo. There was a DNH article about a group of TEK commandos who were guarding Orban during a car journey. They skidded off the road, hit a tree and had to be rescued by emergency services and taken to hospital. Who was protecting Orban while they went off the road? They are bumbling amateurs.
