Criminal complaint filed against Hungarian President Sulyok
The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) is filing a criminal complaint on suspicion of high-value fraud and abuse of office in a case involving President Tamás Sulyok, DK MEP Klára Dobrev said on Friday.
Dobrev, a list leader of the DK-MSZP-Párbeszéd parties at this year’s European Parliament election, told a press conference that Sulyok as a lawyer had been involved in “an illegal transfer of Hungarian farmland to foreigners” in the early 2000s.
The current President was a trustee-on-delivery for the Austrian owners of Agronomia Kft, which was “managing land fraud” between January 14, 2013 and December 23, 2015, Dobrev said. During the period, Botanic-Garden, a company registered in Sopron, in western Hungary, was set up as Agronomia’s successor and Sulyok was also a trustee-on-delivery for this company between November 13, 2014 and February 15, 2016, she added.
Certified public records show that the President was active as a lawyer until October 4, 2019, although he had been a constitutional judge since September 27, 2014 and the deputy leader of the Constitutional Court since April 1, 2015, Dobrev said. In line with the law on the Constitutional Court, a constitutional judge must not carry out any economic activity, including working as a lawyer, she added.
When Sulyok became the trustee-on-delivery of the company registered in Sopron, he was already a Constitutional Court judge, she said.
Sulyok “knowingly violated his oath as a Constitutional Court judge and acted serving the interests of an Austrian land mafia company,” she added.

Dobrev is trying to use US democrat methods. If Dobrev cannot defeat opposition then sic the law on them. Dobrev is too stupid to understand no Hungarian want socialism. Dobrev is a halfwit because she does not understand Hungary does not want to cede sovereignty to EU nor do they want to fill the country with uneducated, lazy, dirty, criminal illegal aliens.
