Change language:
Parliament’s national security committee lacked a quorum at it Thursday meeting as its members representing the ruling parties once again stayed away from the event.
The body’s chairman, Zsolt Molnár of the Socialists, called the meeting to request briefing on a suspected case of money laundering reported in the media connected with an FBI investigation against a Hungarian citizen, as well as on the case of a Russian diplomat expelled from Hungary.
The committee was also going to ask questions of members of the government and law enforcement authorities on issues such as the “1,300 billion forints [EUR 4.1bn] of minister Lajos Kósa, the 1,200 billion forints on the offshore account of state secretary Zsolt Szabó, the Quaestor bankruptcy case, the ‘cartel case’ against the national bank and abuses of the residence bonds,” Molnar said.
