Budapest Police have ordered an inquiry into the privatisation of the airline Malév. A misuse of funds inquiry will be conducted on an unidentified person, Budapest Police stated on their website yesterday.
As the privatisation was not prepared with due care and expertise, a €32 million counter-guarantee issued to a Russian bank was only found when the state took the airline back, the police explained.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
Note that we will be experimenting with some modifications to the commenting system over the coming days, with the aim of allowing users to post without a CAPTCHA system and other manual anti-spam gizmos. We will therefore be monitoring comments more closely, and if you have any related issues or observations, you can just leave them in a comment on any article.
