At Ferenc Liszt International Airport, the police detained the president of the executive faculty, György Schadl, and his wife - who is also an executive - as they were on their way to Dubai.

According to the information of the prosecutor's office, criminal proceedings concerning the leadership of the Executive Faculty of the Hungarian Court are underway.

Based on company information data available on the Internet, György Schadl founded the executive office Schadl és Társa in Budaörs in 2011. As you can remember, at that time it was very worthwhile to be an executor due to the crisis affecting foreign currency creditors. By the way, Schadl's wife used to be a department head at the executive chamber's complaints office, and her mother was Ferenc Gyurcsány's secretary.

György Schadl became the president of the Executive Faculty of the Hungarian Courts in 2015. Based on leaked press reports about the criminal proceedings, according to Origo , under Schadl, it was possible to join the executive branch for money, and membership had to be paid monthly.

According to Origo, seventy -six executive offices are currently involved in the case. During the investigation, a house search was conducted in the office building at Városmajor utca 74, where a company of the Schadl family and several independent bailiffs are located. In the past, scandals surrounded the operations of the executors. Corruption, embezzlement, professional incompetence - at the beginning of the 2000s, these terms best characterized the organization.

In the press, it was often possible to read that in exchange for a certain consideration, the executors participated in the diversion of certain assets. Later, the Hungarian press made a lot of noise about what trips the leaders of the executive chamber went on with their family members, such as official trips abroad , for example to the Republic of South Africa, Canada, Crete or even Cyprus, with special daily allowances.

Later, the Hungarian press was also vocal when it was revealed that the chamber holds its general meetings in expensive luxury hotels. For example, in 2014, a conference was organized in a luxury hotel in Sárvár.

The distasteful nature of money laundering was increased by the fact that in the early 2010s, the enforcement procedures that affected failed foreign currency borrowers were taking place. According to Origo, "loan contracts registered in foreign currency, however, contained very complicated legal constructions, and sufficient legal knowledge was required to handle such cases properly. And it should have been, because most of the executors did not have a law degree at that time."

Due to the rules that have remained with us since the system change, even those who did not graduate from law school could remain in executive careers. According to Origo's article, by 2015, half of the nearly two hundred executors had at most a high school diploma, and only 40, i.e. twenty percent, had a law degree.

This is how it happened that among the executors there were also animal breeders and kindergarten teachers.
