The money was found during searches on Thursday and Friday as part of a criminal investigation into former minister Miklós Seszták, who worked under former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, relating to bribery allegations. ​Seszták, who is under pre-trial detention has denied wrongdoing. Hungarian Prime Minister Peter ‌Magyar launched a wide anti-corruption campaign after ousting Orbán earlier this year. The money — more than 5 billion forints, €2.6 million and €1.
