An investigation may be launched due to fraud and money laundering in the case of the American financing of the People's Hungary Movement, characterized by Péter Márki-Zay, Magyar Nemzet has learned.
István Tényi, who is known for his public interest announcements, filed a complaint with the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office in connection with the suspected foreign funds. They sent the document to the Budapest Police Headquarters (BRFK), and from them the documents went to the National Investigation Agency (NNI). The communication service of the ORFK informed us that a supplement to the report had been ordered in the case. This means that the police have a total of thirty days to decide whether to initiate an investigation or reject the report.
Well-known, Péter Márki-Zay, the opposition's former joint prime minister candidate, reported in the Magyar Hang Gulyáságyú podcast at the end of August that even in mid- June, hundreds of millions of forints worth of support had arrived from the United States.
He also revealed that the American foundation Action for Democracy sent this amount in one batch, but claimed that other transfers had previously come from this organization and that the funds were pooled by many people overseas. In a video interview published by Magyar Nemzet on Wednesday, Márki-Zay already explained that the rules of party financing do not apply to them, as the Mendiki Magyarországa Mozgalom (MMM) is not a party and has never "behaved" as a party. That is why, according to him, they can accept money from abroad, but he denied that the money coming from the United States was spent on the election campaign during the election period.
