We also expanded geographically, selling to new markets and being able to strengthen ourselves in our important export markets. New, or rather, our refocused directions were Austria and Germany to the west and Serbia to the south.
– said the great contractor to Rural Magazine.
As early as May, storm clouds gathered over Bige’s head
László Bige, owner of Nitrogénművek Zrt., Is one of the richest people in Hungary, who acquired his fortune after the regime change, mainly from the production of fertilizers.
In May, the prosecution issued a prison sentence and the confiscation of 135 million guilders in bribes against the big businessman. Then, in his statement to the Index, he wrote that
“Dilettante, amateur, useless people” have made great efforts to ruin it with the participation of public bodies, but they will not succeed.
The great contractor refused to want to bribe anyone:
Anyone who thinks that one of the richest people in Hungary wanted to bribe someone is wrong. Someone claimed that he had bribed László Bige, although he had received nothing for it, and the authorities do not seem to show how absurd this is.
Bige said.
He called the prosecution’s indictment ridiculous and unfounded, thereby commenting that it was part of a cohesive attack on him. He also hinted that he and his family had been threatened.
