The public, or at least the committee, should learn about the national security aspects, if any, of the case and whether the actions of Welsz, who recently died in a police car, had been influenced by secret services, Molnár told a press conference on Monday.

It is also necessary to clear up the circumstances of Welsz’s death considering that he fell ill while sitting in a police car and conflicting pieces of information have been circulating since. Heads of the interior ministry and services under its control, as well as the civil intelligence service, and the national police chief have been invited to the meeting. 
 
The ruling Fidesz party told MTI on Monday afternoon that it would initiate the hearing of Socialist chairman Attila Mesterházy at the committee’s Tuesday meeting. Mesterházy will be expected to appear in the committee because after Welsz’s death he is the last person “who could have information about this horrible Socialist crime story,” the Fidesz statement said. 
 
The earliest possible date for the hearing is in eight days, namely on April 3. Gábor Simon was arrested earlier on suspicion of asking a friend to open a bank account in his name with a Hungarian bank using a forged passport from a southern African country. 
 
Simon quit his post as the party’s deputy leader and gave up his seat in parliament in February, after reports that he had undeclared assets worth 240 million forints (EUR 780,000) held on an Austrian bank account.
