Hungary’s intelligence agency allegedly conducted surveillance on EU officials during their visits to the country, including searching their hotel rooms and recording their phone conversations, according to a startling new report.
A joint investigation by Direkt36 and De Tijd has revealed that Hungary’s Information Office (IH), the country’s counterpart to the CIA, specifically targeted investigators from the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF). The agency was, at the time, probing allegations involving a Hungarian company linked to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s son-in-law.
The report, published by Hungarian investigative outlet Direkt36 and Belgian newspaper De Tijd, provided examples from 2015 to 2017 showing how OLAF officials traveling to Hungary were subjected to invasive surveillance. This included being closely followed during car trips and having their phones tapped.
