The Mediaworks Hírcentrum reported last week that Péter Jakab tried to cheat HUF 80 million before he was removed from his position as faction leader, according to the Magyar Hírlap. István Tényi filed a report in the case, the fact of which was also confirmed by the Central Investigative General Prosecutor's Office, and it was announced that the case had been transferred to the Budapest Police Headquarters.
István Tényi turned to the Central Prosecutor General's Office (KNYF) because Jakab Péter is a member of parliament and thus has immunity, so only the General Prosecutor's Office can investigate him. The KNYF did not provide information on why the report was sent to the police, but it is conceivable that the role of Péter Jakab will not be investigated in the first instance, but that of the persons to whom he wanted to transfer the money, as they are not entitled to immunity.
Based on the sources of Mediaworks, after Péter Jakab handed over the presidency, he already knew that the game was not over yet, the new leadership of the party also wanted to oust him from the position of faction leader. Before being replaced, he therefore took advantage of the right of sole signatory that came with the position and tried to cheat 80 million forints from people close to him in the form of factional contracts. The fallen president sent the papers to the Office of the National Assembly out of sequence, so that they could be approved as soon as possible, but by then it was already too late.
In the end, the party prevented Jakab's action in time, since according to the regulations, every representative in the colors of the party is obliged to resign from a part of his staff, thereby providing resources for the faction's work. After Jakab's plan became known, the representatives decided not to give up a part of their framework, so the cover needed for the payments ceased, and the plan went bankrupt.
