Orban’s Son-in-Law Waits Out Hungarian Wealth Probe in New York
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s abrupt expulsion is now shining a spotlight on the biggest financial beneficiaries of his regime, raising questions about who’ll remain in the country with their wealth intact.
While some of the nation’s rich businessmen, such as Daniel Jellinek, quickly adapted to the political reality, backing new premier Peter Magyar’s vows for a wide-ranging wealth tax, some former insiders look more exposed. They include Orban’s son-in-law Istvan Tiborcz and childhood friend Lorinc Meszaros as the incoming premier investigates the billions of dollars of assets accumulated during his predecessor’s 16 years in office.
