Former Budapest Vicemayor Gets Suspended Prison Term For Embezzlement
A court in south-eastern Hungary handed a two-year prison term, suspended for four years, to Miklós Hagyó, Budapest’s former Socialist deputy mayor, on charges of embezzlement. Five other defendants out of a total 15 in the case, initiated under suspicion of major corruption, have similarly been sentenced to suspended prison terms of various lengths.

Hagyó was originally accused of running a criminal gang and causing huge losses to municipal public transport company BKV in the years before August 2008.
