As Pál Völner put it: it is in his personal interest to clarify his role and innocence during the investigation as soon as possible, so he unconditionally supports the granting of his immunity.
Pál Völner, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Justice who resigned last week, and who is suspected by the General Prosecutor's Office of accepting official bribes, will not participate in the meeting of the Parliament's Immunity Committee. In a letter written to the chairman of the parliamentary committee, János Hargitai, on December 10, the ruling party politician states that although he received the notification for the meeting, he does not wish to attend it, and also asked Hargitai to decide on the granting of his immunity.
Völner put it this way:
"The contents of the proposal of the General Prosecutor's Office, which I am also familiar with, are rather confusing, rough, contradictory, in several places incoherent, and from certain parts it is not even clear what kind of crime the General Prosecutor's Office assumes to establish".
This legal opinion was also confirmed by his lawyer, lawyer Gábor Papp, who sent to 24.hu. Pál Völner also wrote about:
The motion of the General Prosecutor's Office contains countless untrue statements concerning me,
to which I will specifically respond to the investigative authority". As he wrote, the prosecution's inquiry is not completely consistent with the announcement that the public was able to learn on December 7.
Despite this, he added, it is in his expressed personal interest to clarify his role and innocence as soon as possible during the investigation, which is why he unconditionally supports the granting of his immunity.
