Gyárfás, a media businessman, was found guilty of complicity to commit murder, while Portik was convicted of instigating the murder. The Budapest Municipal Court banned both defendants for ten years from participating in public affairs.

Judge Péter Póta said the earliest Gyárfás could be released on parole was after serving four-fifths of his sentence.

Portik could be eligible for parole in 20 years’ time at the earliest, he added.

According to the verdict, Gyárfás commissioned Portik and Péter Tasnádi, current convicts in connection with other cases, to kill Fenyő, his business rival.

Portik hired Slovak criminal Jozef Roháč to carry out the murder, who then killed Fenyő on February 11, 1998.
