Viktor Orbán’s loss of power following Fidesz’s April 2026 election defeat has opened the door to probes into past grant misuse and EU-fund irregularities, including a July 2026 raid on party data servers tied to the National Cultural Fund. Hungary’s Integrity Authority has called for scrutiny of Orbán’s inner circle, and the country’s entry into the European Public Prosecutor’s Office enables retrospective review of fund-related cases dating to 2021. Despite these steps and six related charges against officials, no indictment or arrest warrant targets Orbán himself, and Hungary’s institutional controls plus his continued political influence keep the risk of detention before year-end low in trader assessments.
