Chief rabbi Róbert Frőhlich said he had clarified these inaccuracies when the interview was taped with the reporter and “yet something else was aired.” The channel made an apology and reported Wednesday evening that the incident occurred on May 4 and its victim was a man around 60 and not the elderly man who was presented as an “illustration” on Tuesday.

RTL Klub news director Róbert Kotroczó said an internal inquiry was underway as the reporter seriously violated regulations. After the internal inquiry Novák realised that he had committed several serious professional mistakes and left the channel by mutual consent.
