The National Investigation Bureau (NNI) is conducting a long-running probe into alleged corruption, breach of trust, and money laundering involving Volánbusz and related state entities. The investigation focuses on activities occurring primarily between 2015 and 2018, with suspected state damages totaling approximately 10 billion forints. Key allegations include the significantly overpriced purchase of 608 used buses and the inflated acquisition of a Volán company headquarters in Kecskemét, which reportedly caused at least 550 million forints in losses. Authorities suspect that funds from these transactions were funneled through intermediary companies and sham loan agreements to finance private real estate projects, luxury vehicles, and large sums of cash. Eight ~~individuals,~~ individuals have been summoned for questioning, including former Magyar Nemzeti Vagyonkezelő Zrt. CEO Norbert Szivek and real estate developer Dániel ~~Jellinek, have been summoned for questioning.~~ Jellinek.
