The president of the State Audit Office (ÁSZ) has warned of suspicions of serious abuses and violations of the law in connection with the campaign financing of the left, emphasized Erik Bánki, the Fidesz chairman of the parliament's economic committee, in Kossuth Rádió's Sunday newspaper program, in connection with the initiation of an audit investigation into the "rolling dollars" case.

The ruling party politician said that, according to his information, the SAO investigation will take longer than expected due to the revealed problems, and the National Tax and Customs Administration must also be involved, as there are suspicions of tax evasion and tax evasion based on the invoices submitted by the opposition parties. exists.

We are experiencing the biggest scandal of the last thirty years, with four billion forints being used from abroad to influence the domestic elections, which is illegal, immoral and unacceptable

- declared Erik Bánki.

He recalled: the left-wing parties fell into a serious spiral of lies, since at first they mentioned "micro-donations", and then it turned out that only a few big supporters gave the "intoxicating amount" of money. They then tried to deflect suspicion by saying that they supported NGOs with the money, but it was proven that this was not true either, said the committee chairman.

According to him, Mayor Gergely Karácsony should also be involved in the case, since he was a candidate for Prime Minister in the campaign, and "one of his most trusted advisers, Dávid Korányi, operated" the system of foreign financing.

Erik Bánki called it completely out of the question that the foreign money would have gone only to Prime Minister candidate Péter Márki-Zay. He added:

every member of the left coalition had to be aware of where the money was coming from and for what purposes it would be used.

What's more, the left-wing politicians themselves have stated countless times that they operate a joint campaign team and decide on everything together - argued Erik Bánki, noting that most of the support went to a company called DatAdat, which is backed by former Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai.

Erik Bánki emphasized: every Hungarian has the right to know exactly what happened, since it is about the management of Hungary.

"We cannot allow these processes to be controlled from abroad," he underlined.
