The Budapest Regional Investigation Prosecutor’s Office has committed an official bribery and is investigating other crimes, and one of the parties involved is the Undersecretary of State for Territorial Affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture, János Nagy, the Ministry of Agriculture announced in a statement on Wednesday at night.

The ministry also announced that today, the Minister of Agriculture, István Nagy, will initiate the removal of the Undersecretary of State from his post.

The prosecution said Wednesday that two people had been investigated on suspicion of corruption, all of whom said one of them was a senior ministry official.

The chancellor was on vacation on László Szjj’s luxury yacht so that he did not have the money for it, according to his declaration of assets, but if he received the trip as a gift, it could raise corruption problems. Szijjártó has not provided an explanation so far, but someone has reported it. It is a question of what the prosecutor’s office will get, if anything.

According to the prosecution’s statement, this summer a cattle rancher also planned to start his new agricultural company with the help of a state tender. There was a well-founded suspicion that he offered an “unwarranted advantage” to a high-ranking ministry official to help him obtain support and land using his connections derived from his official position.

The significance of the case is well illustrated by the fact that the advertisement refers to a non-refundable amount of hundreds of millions of forints. The contractor offered a five percent stake to the ministry’s senior employee, who also accepted the offer and acquired the promised stake in the business.

Prosecutors said both perpetrators were questioned as suspects and their arrest was ordered. They also indicated that they had proposed a “coercive judicial measure that affects personal freedom.”
