Romanian national threatened to kidnap mayor’s kids, said Méhkerék will burn

In a binding ruling, a court in Gyula has sentenced a Romanian national to three years in prison for threats of committing terrorist acts on his social media site on Oct 2023, the court said on Wednesday.
The man was banned from participating in public affairs and expelled from Hungary for three years, the court said. The man was charged with accusing local residents of theft and extramarital affairs and claiming that his life had been threatened in videos posted on social media. Another video showed him burning furniture and household items in his courtyard saying: “It is time somebody put things in order”. He added that Méhkerék (Békés County) will burn and will be blown up.
In a video posted in October, he demanded “to get back” his “gold reserves” and made threats of kidnapping the local mayor’s children, among other threats. He admitted to his acts in court, insisting however that he had been forced to prepare the videos by three unknown men.
