Fidesz proposes compensation for student workers cheated out of pay

Ruling Fidesz has submitted a draft resolution to parliament on compensating student workers who were cheated out of their pay by a staffing company run by Csaba Czeglédy, a local government representative who is under investigation for misappropriation of public monies, deputy parliamentary group leader Zoltán Bona said at a press conference on Sunday.

“Csaba Czeglédy and his band of criminals are suspected of misappropriating more than 3 billion forints (EUR 9.7m) and stealing from several hundred students,” Bona said.

He called for a probe of possible ties between the staffing company Human Operator and the financing of left-wing political parties, noting that Czegledy earlier represented Éljen Szombathely-Socialists-DK-Együtt in Szombathely, in western Hungary.

Czeglédy is currently in pre-trial detention.
