Hungary: Ex-Fidesz Ministers Arrested; Orbán Exposure to Corruption Probes Rises

Hungarian authorities have arrested two former Fidesz ministers on corruption charges, with prosecutors seeking immunity waivers for them.

The extent of Orbán's direct involvement and the full scope of charges remain unclear.
