This is what Atlatszo wrote this week:
The plane registered as OE-LEM, after weeks of staying in one place, took off from Vienna early in the morning on Tuesday and landed in Budapest. Soon after that it took off again, flew to Belgrade and then returned to Budapest again.
The main point is who spent the money and where: the foundation that owns the soccer academy is led by Orban’s friend, Lőrinc Mészáros. And the contractor benefitting from many of the development projects, Fejér-B.Á.L. Zrt., is owned by Mészáros’s children.
