Viktor Orbán’s brother becomes CEO of an international arms trading company
Viktor Orbán’s younger brother, Áron Orbán, has been appointed CEO of an international arms trading company operating in Hungary. Meanwhile, it has also emerged in the news that he owns a company in Croatia which specialises in arms trading. We thought to investigate this dubious case.
There were already rumours circulating in the Hungarian media that the prime minister’s younger brother by 14 years, Áron Orbán had an avid interest in the arms market, since he earlier posted on Social Media that he owned an arms trading company (the post was later suspiciously removed).
According to index.hu, it has been made public that Viktor Orbán’s younger brother became the CEO of an arms trading company.
Based on the information of mfor.hu, Áron Orbán took over the management of the arms trading company, that runs with the tell-tale name Multi Shoot Ltd., on 25 October. The previous CEO, József Bóka resigned from his post, according to documents filed with the company court.
Meanwhile, just a few days apart, Áron Orbán also bought 100 percent ownership in another arms trading firm, Circle of Devils Ltd. This company was formerly owned by Multi Shoot, and its name suggests that it may have been linked to Áron Orbán in the past, as the prime minister’s brother used to own a company with a very similar name, Circle of ANGELS & DEVILS LLC, registered in Csáktornya, Croatia.
It is clear that both the Croatian company’s and Multi Shoot’s main profile is arms trading. In the case of Multi Shoot, this also becomes obvious, if we have a look at their website, where they state the following:
“Multi Shoot Zrt. is an international company, established in the summer of 2017, whose main sector is arms trade. It is licensed for the sale of any military equipment, with the exception of chemical and nuclear weapons.”
The company operates a large brick-and-mortar weapon store in Dunakeszi. They sell ammunition, tactical and hiking clothing, as well as shotguns, bullets and handguns.
Diverse profile: catering, explosives, arms trading
Similar information was found about Circle of ANGELS & DEVILS LLC operating abroad. According to trademarkelite.com, the company’s business is quite diverse. It includes not only event management and catering but also the sale of weapons, ammunition and explosives.
In this context, the machine gun and handgun in the company’s logo are a telling sign that the company’s profile is most likely not focused solely on catering and event management.
The country’s business-related regulations do not require Hungarian companies, including the Circle of Devils Ltd., to make it clear whether they are involved in arms trading. On ceginformacio.hu (a website providing public information on companies registered in Hungary), the main activity of Circle of Devils Ltd. is listed as ‘retail sale of other new goods n.e.c’. The latter is a very broad category that includes, among other things, ‘specialised retail sale of weapons and ammunition’.

I’m sure he’s uniquely qualified and connected, Mr. A. Orbán. Wondering who is the circle of loyal clients, these days?
At least he has experience running arms companies unlike Biden’s drug-addict son earning millions sitting on the board of a Ukrainian oil/gas company, an industry he has ZERO experience in.
The “ugliness” – shock/horror – turning the pages of the Curriculum Vitae – surname Orban – Astounding.
Family functionality, associations – what an epic it has and continues on-going throwing up.
Asked before in this forum – what to Hungary sooner hopefully than later – what will be Victor Orbans LEGACY to Hungary?
Nothing is getting cheaper in Hungary.
The Stability and Stabilization – in-side Hungary – the state of the Economy just continues to ERODE, under the leadership, the Dictatorial leadership path led by Victor Orban.
BLAME rests solely for the DECAYING state we are in Hungary at this disastrous time in our history, that continues to make appearing the perilous future we could be facing – through the Political ideas & philosophy plans & visions – that Victor Orban has dismally FAILED in providing for the FUTURE of Hungary.
@Erik Elcrow – so, because an American engages is potential illicit activity (don’t mention Jan. 6 ) or something that could be considered an apparent conflict of interest, we should just turn a blind eye and not be critical, in Hungary???
Erik Elcrow – just as America continues through there ERROR voting into the office of presidency Donald J.Trump – as there “infamous” 45th President back in 20217 – the SAME can be said of Hungarians – who have supported voted in for a “second coming” – senselessly continue to support as the Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban.
WHAT a MESS he has created for Hungary.
Power the want of that has been obtained by Orban through dismissing DEMOCRACY and reverting to govern Hungary under a Dictatorship.
What a Mess – what a cataclysmic Economic & Financial Mess under the Orban political ideas & philosophy that he has manufactured and forced on Hungarians, that presents us at this point in time, a country that is COLLAPSING – that no end to our DECLINE can be seen.
Hungary like America – paying HEAVERLY – for there massive ERRORS in appointments of a President & a Prime Minister.
What will the LEGACY – Victor Orban leaves Hungary?
Scary to try and ANSWER.
@Norbert,
So you have 4 posts above?? I guess in your world as pooched up as it is, nobody else has a say? You’ve become a typical troll, nothing more, nothing less. Find a life!
Didn’t I just read “Hungary to produce a lot of small arms” elsewhere here?
Hm, I wonder just who could benefit from that, and I wonder just who’s going to be buying a lot of new weapons from the said company?
Please, PLEASE tell me that there is no nepotism here. 🙁
Isn’t someone ever so lucky to be one of V.P.’s very few close allies.
Unfortunately, some people (here) have a serious case of tunnel vision. Who the fruit cares about Hunter Biden!
He’s NOT Hungarian, he’s NOT in this country, he is NOT this country’s PM. If the American voters have an issue with him, they can voice their opinions at election time. Let’s clean up our OWN backyard first!
Ps.
@Heard enough from you:
IF YOU CARE, if you care enough, you will voice your opinion, and I’m sure no one here will stop you from doing just that – as often as you wish.
History lesson.
Cost YOU nothing.
Its on You Tube.
1989 June speech made by Victor Orban in Heros Square – in front of 250.000 personally attending Hungarians.
Orban – “mouthed” out:
(1) end of Communism in Hungary.
(2) wanting a Government structured and in functionality of DEMOCRACY.
(3) wanting Hungary to be a FREE country in its choices opposite to rule & governance as it had endured lived under – from 1945 under Communism.
WHAT has Victor Orban orchestrated – that is the ABSOLUTE opposite to what he “Mouthed” to Hungary in June 1989?
Chaos & Disaster – the Devastation of our Country, the on-going Dismantling of our country, that witnesses us of NO retainment of Democracy just being ruled & governed as a DICTATORSHIP continuing – and we Hungarians in millions – WRONGFULLY continue to live in ACCEPTANCE of it – APPALLING.
History lesson, and we know that History never Lies, but Orban in his June 1989 to 2022 – listened to it and YOU be the JUDGE.
