The Mártha clan has "interests" from the settlements along the Ukrainian border all the way to Balatonfüred.
Imre Mártha, mocked as Gyurcsány's daughter, bought a huge plot of land in the Balaton Upland National Park, where he plans to implement a business worth billions.
For a long time now, the Budapest public works manager has been moving every stone to declare a part of the property bordering the inner area of Balatonfüred as an inner area as well, so that parceling can begin and the huge business can begin. Considering the average plots of 1,000 square meters in Balatonfüred, Mártha could develop 140 plots in the area in question.
Based on the land prices in Füred, you can get HUF 80-100 million for a single plot. In other words, he could earn a total of 10-15 billion from the business.
In addition, the area in question has a "full panorama" of the Tihany Peninsula, with a small forest, and is located directly on the border of the interior, so the introduction of public utilities would not be a particular expense.
Imre Mártha works continuously to complete the huge business. As he has not yet succeeded in reclassifying the entire area, he tried another trick on the advice of his lawyers, who are experienced in this kind of real estate speculation. The essence of this is to achieve the reclassification of the area not all at once, but in parts, saying that this way the speculation will not be so "conspicuous". Metropol employees found the documents proving this. The Balatonfüred municipality put the request of the capital's utility manager on the agenda.
"Mártha Imre Edgár's request that a 4,000 m2 part of his over 13-hectare plot above Óvoda utca, HRS 0148/13, can be included in the inner area with garden residential zone classification" - states one of the proposals of the local government, which came at Mártha's special request on the agenda. However, the municipality recognized the billion-dollar speculative intention and, in consultation with the Balaton Upland National Park, refused to negotiate the "request". It is also important to know that the property of the capital's utility manager is classified as Natura 2000, which means that it is home to highly protected animal and plant species.
Imre Mártha has recently tried to close off the highly important nature conservation area even from tourists: the head of the capital's utilities has surrounded the area with internet wildlife cameras, so you can immediately receive an alert on your mobile phone if anyone enters the nature conservation area acquired with the intention of speculation.
The signs warning of wildlife cameras appear exactly where the view is the most beautiful. Mártha probably wants to classify this part of the area as an inner area first, in order to reap billions from it.
The 14-hectare property in Balatonfüred almost disappears in the huge real estate empire of the capital's public utility manager.
Its seat is the Prisztás Villa Budapest XII. district, which he acquired by doing business with the notorious mobster's family. He also has a 500 square meter villa in Alsóőrs near Balaton. He also partially owns and manages the port of Balatonalmád through a joint-stock company, and is the only head of Vitorlás Kínkétó Zrt. entitled to sign an independent company.
According to experts, the "real estate development" company run by Imre Mártha and his family can serve to hide the billion real estate assets.
The true magnitude of this cannot be estimated. When Gergely Karácsony appointed Mártha to the head of the huge capital utility company, apparently at the suggestion of Gyurcsány, all the locations of the company he ran were suddenly removed from the company register. However, the dozens of locations proved that the Mártha clan has "interests" from the settlements along the Ukrainian border to Balatonfüred.
In Zsámbék, located in the capital city agglomeration, for example, the company recently sold a log house, the building was not listed on the title deed or on the official map copy.
Mártha Imre has also shopped extensively for a luxury condominium in Florida, but he has already bought a building plot for himself on a private island at the exit of the Gulf of Mexico, where it is known that he is planning to build another luxury villa.
