According to documents obtained by Direkt36, state funds were secretly directed to a company called 4iG. This happened at the very time when the government decided to sell state-owned defense companies to this firm.

A Direkt36 investigation has revealed that the Hungarian Prime Minister personally got involved in an acquisition of 4iG, a Hungarian telecommunications company that is officially owned by private individuals. The Hungarian government helped in other ways as well, including a secret investment worth of billions.

Earlier this year Direkt36 was able to confirm the identity of the ultimate beneficial owners of dozens of private equity funds from a database managed by NAV, the Hungarian tax authority, but these records have now been deleted. No one takes responsibility for the disappearance of the data.

Documents prove that pro-government businessmen actually own private equity funds that hide vast fortunes.
