Hungarian investigators have found $19.5m in hidden cash, including bundles dug out in forests, during a corruption probe involving a former minister under ex-Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The National Asset Recovery and Protection Office, a new agency set up to investigate suspected misuse of public money, said in a statement late on Friday that searches took place on November 12 and 13 in Budapest and three other parts of Hungary. Its investigators found Hungarian forints, euros and US dollars in farm buildings, warehouses, a home and “a high-value safe in a secluded location”, as well as beneath the ground in forests.
