Hungarian teenager arrested for alleged mass attack plot with FBI assistance – VIDEO

A shocking case has come to light in Hungary, where a 15-year-old student from Győr was arrested for allegedly planning a violent attack targeting specific groups. Authorities acted swiftly, and the operation involved Hungarian law enforcement and the FBI, which played a key role in identifying the suspect’s online activities.

FBI, Online conversations raise alarms

The teenager was investigated after conversing on a social media platform. His chat partner noticed concerning statements in both Hungarian and English, including the phrase “public executions”, which caught the FBI’s attention. The alarming nature of these messages led to an international collaboration between U.S. and Hungarian authorities, police.hu said.

Planned attack on minority groups, rapid police action

Reports indicate that the student had planned to target Muslims, Black individuals, and members of the LGBTQ+ community on February 1st. While the specific location and details of the intended attack remain unclear, he expressed clear intent by stating, “I will do it. Watch the news.”

Following the online discovery, Hungarian authorities, including the Counter-Terrorism Center (TEK) and the National Bureau of Investigation (KR NNI), took swift action. On January 30th, a tactical unit apprehended the teenager inside his father’s car. A subsequent house search led to the seizure of electronic devices that could provide further evidence. An FBI representative was also present during the search.

Ongoing investigation and legal proceedings

Investigators have interviewed multiple witnesses so far, but the case is still developing. The suspect had no previous criminal record, no documented psychological conditions, and had been leading a seemingly ordinary life as a student. The prosecutor’s office requested pretrial detention, and the teenager was transferred to a juvenile detention center in Budapest. He has since denied all accusations and appealed the court’s ruling, which means the detention order is not yet final.

Charged with terror-related offense

Police have confirmed that the suspect is being charged with “threatening to commit a terrorist act”, a serious crime under Hungarian law. The court has already approved his detention pending further proceedings.

Similar case in the region

This incident is not the first of its kind in the Győr-Moson-Sopron area. In 2022, a teenager from Kapuvár was arrested after threatening to kill a classmate. That case resulted in a suspended prison sentence of 1.5 years, with the court also ordering the young offender to attend psychological therapy and write an essay on freedom of conscience and anti-discrimination laws. Authorities continue to emphasize the importance of monitoring online activity, as cases like this highlight the dangers of radicalization and violent intent.

  1. Here we have a 15 year old who wants to target for “public execution” the same groups that Fidesz targets – Muslims, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. This is where irresponsible extreme rhetoric and complete lies by Fidesz leads to – violence. Politicians, and not just in Hungary, have a responsiblity to choose their words carefully because they are read and listened to by potentially millions of people who will not only form opinions based on those words but potentially act on them. In the US you have politicians – and we know who they are – using the same rhetoric. Thank goodness the FBI assisted. US intelligence even warned Russia about information that a large terrorist attack was planned for a major event in Moscow last year but the Russian authorities ignored it and then after 130 people were killed they used disgusting propaganda to blame the US for it. I don’t think the Russians like to stop terrorist attacks because they are useful as propaganda items to stir up the population. That goes with the Russian directed “Muslim” bomb threats in Hungary

    • Larry… are you a paid troll or you do by yourself? Second question is you do it by stupidity or you know exactly what you say is bullshit but through lies you try to influence low minded and disinformed people? If the first answer is right I condemn you. If the second I pity you. If the 3rd I deeply look down on you and God must have mercy on your rotten soul
