Zsolt Láng said BKV was set to rent buses from an offshore company with a single employee registered just a week before the tender was announced.

Tamás Leisztinger, the former partner of Kata Tüttő, a deputy mayor, headed the company, he added. He called on Karácsony to take swift action, “because if the leadership of the capital goes off in this direction … the consequences would be very serious.”

The company does not have any buses, Láng said, adding that with its offshore background, it would not qualify for a public procurement tender in Hungary. Lang added that his side was considering taking legal action.
