Summary

Hungary’s intelligence agency allegedly spied on EU officials by searching hotel rooms, extracting data from laptops, and surveilling Hungarian citizens working in EU institutions, as reported by Belgian media and NGOs.

The espionage reportedly dates back years, with heightened activity during Hungary’s presidency of the EU Council.

Targets included EU anti-fraud investigators (OLAF) probing misuse of EU funds.

While espionage against EU institutions is common, such actions by an EU member state are unprecedented.

They better leave OLAF in peace.

EU anti-fraud investigators (OLAF)

Germany’s current chancellor Olaf Scholz has been involved in the two biggest financial frauds in recent years. Cum Ex and Wirecard.
