Tusk Came Down Hard On Orbán

The Polish prime minister said he was "stunned."

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk sarcastically commented on news reports regarding the arrest of the brother of former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Tusk wrote about this on the social media platform X.

The Polish prime minister recalled two high-profile incidents involving Orbán’s inner circle: the arrest of his brother a few days ago and the discovery of $20 million that a former Hungarian official had buried in the woods. “Dear Viktor, I’ve always admired your creativity, but now I must say I’m more amazed than ever,” Tusk wrote ironically.

On November 13, the Hungarian National Office for the Recovery and Protection of State Property reported large-scale, coordinated searches in several towns across the country. These searches were conducted as part of a criminal case against Miklós Sesták, who served as Minister of National Development in Orbán’s government.

Law enforcement officers found large sums of cash in various locations: the money was buried in the woods, hidden in agricultural and warehouse facilities, as well as in a residential building. Some of the funds were stored in a large safe in a secret location. Over the course of two days of searches, authorities seized 5,071,632,000 forints (over 13.5 million euros), 2,658,350 euros, and 1,257,100 U.S. dollars.

In addition, on November 11, a court in Budapest remanded Áron Orbán, the former prime minister’s younger brother, and his live-in partner into custody for one month. They are suspected of possibly assisting Vietnamese citizens in illegally smuggling them into Western Europe.
