BUDAPEST – Tax authorities in Hungary have blocked transfers of funds abroad by unidentified people linked to a top aide to outgoing Hungarian leader Viktor Orban, election winner Peter Magyar said.
Magyar, due to be sworn in as Orban’s successor on May 9, said on social media that the NAV tax authorities had “suspended several transfers linked to Antal Rogan’s circle worth billions of forints, on suspicion of money laundering.”
Magyar did not provide evidence in the video he posted on social media late on Monday to support his allegations, which Reuters was unable to verify. Billions of forints is equivalent to millions of dollars.
