Brother of former Hungarian prime minister arrested, charged with human

The brother of former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Áron Orban, has been detained by Hungarian authorities on suspicion of involvement in human trafficking. The news was made public by Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who referred to media reports of his arrest.

Through a reaction on social media, Magyar announced that investigations are ongoing by the National Office for Asset Recovery and Protection and the National Bureau of Investigation.

According to Hungarian media, the operation took place in Budapest and in several areas of the Pest county, where several people were arrested and searches were carried out in apartments.

Áron Orban was previously named in an investigation into alleged schemes to facilitate the obtaining of Schengen visas by foreign nationals. The company linked to him is suspected of having brokered the registration of Vietnamese nationals in a two-day first aid course at the University of Pécs, a procedure that could have facilitated their obtaining visas.

Hungarian authorities are expected to provide more details about the operation and the charges against the detained individuals.
