Hungary’s former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany, the most unpopular premier since communism fell two decades ago, said he expects to be jailed by his successor, Viktor Orban.

“There’s a realistic chance I’ll be put into custody,” Gyurcsany told a meeting of foreign journalists in Budapest today. “I have no doubt that Mr. Orban is personally pushing this business. He’s a brilliant populist.”
