Hungarian prosecutors carry out a raid on facilities that house data servers used by Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party, according to multiple reports. The actions are linked to an embezzlement investigation, with investigators seizing or inspecting servers connected to party email and communications systems. Bloomberg reports that prosecutors take the servers, citing statements from a spokesperson for Orban’s ally, while other outlets describe prosecutors raiding offices where the party keeps its data center.
Fidesz also states that prosecutors arrive unannounced and conduct the raid on Tuesday, according to France 24. The party’s statement is presented in the context of political changes in Hungary after the April election, when Prime Minister Peter Magyar—who has been pushing anti-corruption reforms—wins a landslide victory over Orban. Across the coverage, the focus remains on the prosecution’s use of raids to obtain digital records as part of the embezzlement probe. The reports do not provide additional details on specific allegations or the immediate impact of the seized equipment.
