István Tényi filed a complaint with the Budapest Regional Investigative Prosecutor's Office on suspicion of criminal abuse of office, who asked the authority to open an investigation against an unknown perpetrator due to what was described in an article published on the Blogstar website. letter written by the Firewall Group , it is reported that the American ambassador met with two Hungarian judges, which really upset the security even in professional circles, because the case can be interpreted as a rough interference in the Hungarian justice system.
The American ambassador has drawn attention to himself several times in recent weeks, although it is a fact that he has not at all won the hearts of Hungarians with these ominous cases. David Pressman recently upset the mood by meeting two Hungarian judges - Tamás Matusik and Csaba Vasvári, who are also members of the National Court Council (OBT) - and then reported on this on Twitter. According to István Tényi, suspicion of abuse of office may arise in the case, if proven. According to its justification, the Civil Code. The crime of abuse of office defined in § 305 is committed by an official who, in order to cause an unlawful disadvantage or obtain an unlawful advantage, violates his official duty, exceeds his official authority, or otherwise abuses his official position. Adds:
It must be investigated – and it is a condition for ordering an investigation – that an official person carried out his activities within the scope of his official function, performing a public authority function. The legal object of the crime of abuse of office is trust in the legal and regular operation of the state apparatus, as well as in state bodies and officials. Officials are granted enhanced protection by the legislator for the duration of their official activities, in order to fulfill the tasks of the state organization. The acts of committing the crime - which the law includes in points for easier clarity - breach of official duty, exceeding official authority (when the official carries out an activity that is outside of his authority, which he has no right to perform), or with the official situation abuse. The latter refers to the conscious exercise of rights related to official status, contrary to their social purpose, against the rules, within the framework of a procedure that appears to be formally legal. With the above behavior, the official persons - or others - gain an illegal advantage or cause an illegal disadvantage to others. The advantage or disadvantage may be of a material nature, but there may also be the acquisition of a moral or personal advantage, or the creation of a disadvantage.
