Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, Hungarian police arrested Aron Orban, the brother of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, on suspicion of human trafficking and other offenses related to influence peddling. The arrest was confirmed by current Prime Minister Peter Magyar during a speech in Berlin, who also stated that three ex-ministers from Orban’s government are already under custody. Aron Orban, 49, built several successful business ventures during his brother's time in power and has been implicated in visa facilitation schemes.

The arrest follows the establishment of the National Asset Protection and Recovery Office (NVVH) by Magyar to investigate alleged corruption from Orban’s 16-year rule. The NVVH and police conducted raids at multiple sites in Budapest and Pest county, detaining a total of four individuals, including Aron Orban.
