Hungarian minister Kósa wanted his 2.63M EUR gift to be transferred on his mother’s bank account

Hír Tv talked to a relative of Kósa’s strange client who claimed that the minister himself asked for the gift. Furthermore, he specifically wanted his mother to be the recipient of the 800M HUF. In fact, the parliament’s national security committee was called together to discuss Kósa’s issue. However, the government parties did not show up on the sitting, so it was inquorate.

Kósa though about the 2.63M EUR as his success fee

As we already reported, Hungarian minister without portfolio in charge of the government’s Modern Cities scheme Lajos Kósa was entrusted to buy government bonds for more than 4 bn EUR. Since then press dug up that Kósa’s strange client who entrusted him to do so was Szabó Gáborné. She claimed then that she inherited this marvellous sum from one of her German relatives.

After the scandal broke out, Kósa stated that he just wanted to help the lady and never accepted any money. However, Magyar Nemzet made public a notarial deed from 2013 September in which Mrs Szabó wanted to transfer

800M HUF (EUR 2.63M) as a gift to Kósa’s mother.

Press discovered that the strange heiress lives in Csenger, an Eastern-Hungarian town where Hír TV managed to talk with a relative of Mrs Szabó. According to him, Kósa specifically wanted his mother to be the recipient of the 800M HUF, not him.

He added that

Kósa thought that this sum will be his success fee.

And of course, he wanted it to be transferred to his mother’s account instead of his because of practical reasons. Kósa probably thought that it would not be good if he received such a significant sum on his own account. Then they signed the notarial deed, so Mrs Szabó approved this condition – said the relative.
