\u201cWe\u2019ll prepare the necessary documents, partly to protect ourselves, so to speak, to show that we acted properly, and partly so that, God forbid, if they were to allow anything, we\u2019d have everything ready and wouldn\u2019t waste time on it,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u2013 said Szab\u00f3, adding that they had shared all the information gathered during their own investigation with their superiors.<\/p>\n
In the interview, Szab\u00f3 confirmed the information included in our article, according to which Evelin Vogel, P\u00e9ter Magyar\u2019s former girlfriend, was also a member of a team working against the party. The police officer also added that, according to information he obtained within the NNI, Vogel would go to an apartment in the 5th district to report, and received 5 million forints a month from certain individuals for that activity.<\/p>\n
Vogel has now told Direkt36 that \u201cnone of these claims are true.\u201d<\/p>\n
We have also contacted the NNI and the AH regarding Szab\u00f3\u2019s main claims. If they respond, we will update the article.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn an ideal system, I wouldn\u2019t have to be sitting here. But I am sitting here, so it seems this is not an ideal system. It is unacceptable to me that not everyone is equal before the law. How is it possible that we suspect people who haven\u2019t necessarily committed a crime, while we don\u2019t even investigate people who have actually committed a crime\u2014not just one, but multiple crimes?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u2013 said Szab\u00f3, referring to how the the police were unable to investigate the unknown individuals working on the operation against Tisza because, under pressure from the AH, their superiors did not allow them to do so.<\/p>\n
According to Szab\u00f3, it is obvious that a secret service group was behind the operation against Tisza. \u201cHow is it possible that a Hungarian intelligence agency would want to bring down a political party?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
He also said that he ultimately turned to the public because he felt there was no authority that would seriously address this matter. He stated that during police leadership meetings, \u201cit is said that prosecutor XY was dismissed because he refused to file charges\u201d in certain cases.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what oath I took when I was sworn in, and I want to uphold it: that I serve my country, not a certain group of people, such as a political party. And I see that this investigation was very much driven by party political interests. And I don\u2019t think that\u2019s right at all. That\u2019s why I\u2019m sitting here now in a less-than-ideal system,\u201d Szab\u00f3 said at the end of the conversation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Direkt36 recorded an interview with a police detective who worked in the department involved in the investigation against the Tisza IT specialists. In the interview, Bence Szab\u00f3 spoke in detail about how the secret service had pressured them within the police force. Early Wednesday morning, Szab\u00f3 was charged with abuse of office, and his home was searched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":12940,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-telex.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[892,893],"ppma_author":[558,522],"aioseo_notices":[],"fimg_url":["https:\/\/www.direkt36.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/telex_thumbnail.jpg",2250,1500,false],"authors":[{"term_id":558,"user_id":24,"is_guest":0,"slug":"zsuzsi","display_name":"Zsuzsanna Wirth","avatar_url":{"url":"https:\/\/www.direkt36.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Wirth-Zsuzsanna.png","url2x":"https:\/\/www.direkt36.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Wirth-Zsuzsanna.png"},"author_category":"","user_url":"","last_name":"Wirth","first_name":"Zsuzsanna","job_title":"","description":"[:hu]Az ELTE hallgat\u00f3jak\u00e9nt kezdett az Orig\u00f3n\u00e1l dolgozni, ahol t\u00edz \u00e9vet t\u00f6lt\u00f6tt a politika rovat \u00fajs\u00e1g\u00edr\u00f3jak\u00e9nt.
