Hungary’s current Foreign Minister Anita Orban has filed a criminal complaint against her predecessor Peter Szijjarto for allegedly using costly private flights instead of scheduled flights over the past four years. According to Orban, this practice resulted in an average additional expense of 4 billion forints ($12.6 million) annually between 2022 and 2026 compared to using business-class commercial flights. The report is part of the new government’s anti-corruption efforts since Prime Minister Peter Magyar took office after Viktor Orban’s recent electoral defeat. Szijjarto’s spokesman denies the allegations, claiming that the travel arrangements complied with relevant regulations and were efficient.

Story summary
Hungary's Foreign Minister Anita Orbán filed a criminal complaint against former minister Peter Szijjarto and his team for using private flights at significant expense. The investigation revealed that between 2022 and 2026, these private flights cost an average of almost six times more than scheduled business-class flights would have, totaling about 4 billion forints ($12.6 million) extra. Orbán's probe is part of the new government’s anti-corruption efforts since Prime Minister Peter Magyar took office after ousting Viktor Orban in April. Viktor Orban’s spokesman, Bertalan Havasi, defended Szijjarto, saying his travel arrangements complied with government decrees and that they were organized efficiently without any cost-saving considerations.
