Dávid Vig, whose brother was arrested by the court the other day, is one of the confidants of the Soros organizations that collect serious foreign subsidies and call themselves defenders of rights.
Dávid Vig is currently the director of Amnesty International Hungary, which keeps the Hungarian government under constant fire, and his brother, Vig Mór, is suspected by the tax office of running a hundred-million invoice factory.
On Thursday, Mandiner broke the news that the brother of the head of Amnesty International Hungary, Dávid Vig, was arrested for an extremely serious crime. According to the paper, Vig Mór was the lawyer arrested a few days ago, who was suspected by the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) of budget fraud and operating an invoice factory worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Fictitious invoices on the assembly line
On Wednesday, the tax authority reported, without mentioning his name, that the court had arrested a lawyer from Budapest who had been banned from practicing. The lawyer operated a company that accepted invoices with false content in the amount of hundreds of millions of forints in order to reduce taxes.
There was no actual economic activity behind them, the purpose of accounting for the documents was clearly tax evasion.
NAV people searched 33 locations in the capital city and - using two drug and money sniffing dogs - seized documents, electronic data, fake government office stamps, and a considerable amount of cash. The authority is prosecuting the 37-year-old man for committing business-like budget fraud causing particularly large financial losses and other crimes. Who, for several reasons, can be none other than Vig Mór, the brother of Dávid Vig, the director of Amnesty International Hungary.
Amnesty has spoken
Amnesty International Hungary itself did not deny this either. On Friday, the organization published a statement on Facebook about the case, but in essence it only said that, according to Amnesty's hope, an independent and impartial process will clarify the circumstances .
This restrained approach can be called surprising, because Amnesty, managed by Dávid Vig, has been accusing the Hungarian government of corruption for many years and has been sharply critical of judicial issues.
The current situation is, of course, spicy: the brother of the director of one of the Soros network, according to his company, a human rights organization, operated a hundred million invoice factory, according to the authority's suspicions, for the purpose of tax evasion.
Who is David Vig?
Based on his biography, Dávid Vig could even be called the Hungarian man of the Soros network. Vig, who teaches at the Criminology Department of ELTE, has been working as a director at Amnesty International Hungary since December 1, 2018. Prior to that, Vig briefly led the law enforcement program of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, but what is much more exciting is that between 2011 and 2016 he worked in the criminal justice group of the human rights program of the Open Society Foundations (OSF) of György Soros.
The money goes to Amnesty
OSF, the foundation of György Soros, does not really need to be introduced in our country, as it widely supports liberal organizations and media that promote and strive to implement the ideals of an open society.
Not by any amount: a summary a few months ago revealed that the American speculator capitalized his network in Hungary by more than ten billion forints between 2016 and 2021.
The analysis also pointed out that the largest amount of money went to the capital led by Gergely Karácsony, who was involved in many controversies regarding the spending of the primary election campaign.
At the top of the support list is the Amnesty leader's former employer, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, with two million dollars, but Vig's current workplace has not been in short supply in recent years either, as Amnesty International in Hungary receives hundreds of millions of HUF in donations from abroad every year.
