His reports may be stored in Moscow.
Former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán may have collaborated with the communist regime’s secret services in his younger years and written reports denouncing his colleagues. The originals of these reports may be stored in Moscow.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine citing an investigation by Hungarian journalist Sabolcs Gospozha.
Szabolcs cites testimony from former Hungarian Prime Minister Miklós Németh, who led the government from 1988 to 1990.
In a statement dated March 30, 2026, Németh mentions a meeting that took place shortly before the first free elections to the National Assembly in March 1990.
According to him, the then-Minister of Defense Ferenc Karpaty handed him three original, handwritten, and signed intelligence reports that were allegedly Orbán’s.
These reports contained Orbán’s observations regarding his fellow soldiers during his mandatory military service in Zalaegerszeg, specifically their behavior, as well as their political, sexual, and religious views.
However, Németh noted that he had no way of verifying the author’s identity or the authenticity of the handwriting and signature, although he believed he recognized them. He returned the documents to the Carpathians and did not keep any copies.
The documents subsequently disappeared, so their current whereabouts are unknown. Orbán’s spokesperson, whom the journalist contacted, called the information “fake news.”
Miklós Németh shared his information after the change in government in Hungary, when it became possible due to changes in legislation.
According to Németh, who has since retired, he had been waiting in recent years for changes in the law that would allow him to make the materials in his possession public.
And in September, after the Hungarian government passed a law expanding access to government documents, he transferred these materials to the archives.
