Hungarian PM’s Son-In-Law Tiborcz Involved In HUF 200mn Deal
Together is initiating an official investigation into the accumulation of wealth by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s daughter Ráhel and her husband István Tiborcz, due to his unclear involvement in the purchase of a Ft 200 million property. It has emerged that Tiborcz paid the stamp duty to register TRA, a company that was a member of a consortium that in December bought the Schossberger mansion in Tura, near Gödöllõ, for Ft 200 million.

The source of the Ft 200 million is unclear, as none of the TRA shareholders appear to have access to such funds, according to website 444.hu.

Together alleges that Tiborcz – who, the party says, has accumulated his wealth from Hungarian taxpayers money and European funds – has acquired a highly valuable castle through straw men at well below its real value.
