Former BKV chief Zsolt Balogh has been named as a suspect in the scandal involving Budapest public transport operator BKV, index.hu reports, based on other reports appearing in the press.

Balogh recently implicated several Socialist politicians from Budapest in a confession to police. On March 6th, daily Magyar Nemzet published an interview with him in which he said that Miklós Hagyó, former Socialist deputy mayor of Budapest, received roughly Ft 70 million (over €260,000) from the company through him.

Balogh added that he once gave Ft 15 million to Hagyó in cash in a Nokia phone box.
