Czeglédy’s case was decided by the Vas County Bar Association, who is now unable to practice. He was notified on Wednesday.

Csaba Czeglédy is unable to practice law after it was discovered Wednesday that the Vas County Bar Association had suspended its activities. All this was reported by Czeglédy on his community page.

The Czeglédy case is quite complicated. A lawyer cannot practice if he is accused in a criminal case, so Csaba Czeglédy could not continue with his activity until the proceedings against him were finalized, when he was added to the list of candidates with the colors of DK in the elections to the 2019 European Parliament. According to Czeglédy and his lawyer, the process against him with immunity was terminated, so in his opinion, a new indictment would have been necessary in a trial that was reopened after the EP elections. However, as interpreted by the General Court of Szeged, the proceedings could continue without him, but at that time the argument of the Czeglédy County Bar Association remained true. That has changed at this point, with the suspension of their activities.

Szombathely’s representative does not understand the decision, as he says there have been no new circumstances in the lawsuit since last year, justifying it.

Csaba Czeglédy and others were indicted in 2019 on suspicion of budget fraud of HUF 6.2 billion. The process started in June last year with preparatory meetings, and then some negotiations took place even earlier this year. In February, the trial was transferred to the General Court of Kecskemét, as all the judges of the General Court of Szeged declared partiality. Due to the epidemiological situation, another trial was conducted only at the end of September, so already in Kecskemét. Here, the trial had to be postponed again because it turned out that one of the defenders was also providing protection to two defendants who had a conflict of interest, since one of them had presented an accusation, for which he pleaded guilty while the other insisted. in his innocence.
