Hungary launches anti-corruption office targeting Orbán-linked assets

Hungary's parliament approved a new National Office for the Recovery of Assets and Protection of Property (NVVH), launched September 1, tasked with investigating misuse of public funds and recovering assets linked to the Orbán clan. The office is led by political scientist Anna Unger, selected from 96 candidates. This marks a notable institutional step in Hungary's anti-corruption efforts, though its effectiveness and independence remain uncertain given the government's control over state bodies.
