The Czech Katalins could have cheated the EU money distributors - Magyar Nemzet published an article with this title. It is written on the portal: according to the information of Mediaworks Hírcentrum, the various actors of the company network, which is also connected to current politicians, participated in ten EU tenders partially or entirely with the same technological development.
The scandal surrounding Catherine of the Czech Republic erupted last July, when Anonymus claimed that it was going to bring down a politician playing a double game. Katalin Cseh was named shortly after.
After that, it appeared on several portals that a company formerly under the management of Katalin Cseh won more than HUF 285 million in EU support, and then, through a network of companies, an additional HUF 4.5 billion of public money landed with the Cseh family's business partners. At the time, the left-wing politician denied to M1 that he had anything to do with the companies involved.
"I have nothing to do with these companies, and I reject the slander that I have anything to do with this money," Katalin Ceh said.

Magyar Nemzet now writes that the investigators of the National Tax and Customs Office, after carefully reviewing the EU applications submitted by a network of approximately half a dozen companies in recent years, assume that the companies may have requested money from the EU several times for a machine or a technological solution . Also, in the case of several tenders, identical invoices were presented to prove the use of EU funds.
The newspaper adds: the authority's investigators also found traces of circular invoicing, and found that in several cases the company's headquarters, branch office, and manager were the same, but more than once there was a match in the identity of the supplier and the location of the project implementation.
According to Magyar Nemzet, based on the cases uncovered, the financial investigators have now come to the conclusion that certain members of the network of companies linked to the Czech Katalinés had unauthorized access to EU and domestic tender funds, and as a result the Hungarian budget was damaged.
In other words, there is a suspicion of budget fraud.
The portal reminds us that the National Tax and Customs Office ordered an investigation on suspicion of budget fraud after Fidesz parliamentarian Gyula Budai and a private individual filed a complaint. NAV already conducted a house search last year, and the Economic Competition Authority launched a competition supervision procedure combined with on-site research this year.
OLAF, i.e. the European Anti-Fraud Office, is also investigating the cases of the network of companies linked to the Czech Katalinés.
