Opposition DK to file criminal complaint against Orbán for people smuggling – UPDATE

The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has announced that it would file a criminal complaint against the Hungarian prime minister for people smuggling and promotion of illegal border crossing.

As we wrote, if Gruevski did come through Serbia, that suggests that at least the Hungarian but most likely the Serbian government as well knew about this arrival and helped him get across the border illegally. Read more HERE.

DK deputy leader Csaba Molnár told a press conference on Friday that Viktor Orbán’s government “has been lying” about former Macedonian PM Nikola Gruevski’s fleeing to Hungary and pointed to Albanian press reports that Gruevski had left Albania in a car belonging to the Hungarian embassy in Tirana.

“The government is not only hiding a convicted criminal but has helped him illegally cross the border,” Molnár insisted.

Molnár demanded that the government should disclose details of “smuggling the criminal into Hungary” and proposed that parliament should have the affair on its agenda next Monday.

Gruevski held office between 2006 and 2016. An arrest warrant was issued earlier this week after he failed to start a two-year prison sentence for corruption.

He announced on his Facebook page on Tuesday that he was in Budapest and had asked the Hungarian authorities for political asylum.
