A former Hungarian government insider turned oppositionist has released an audio recording that he claims is evidence of top officials conspiring to cover up corruption. This revelation marks the latest development in a scandal that has shaken Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's political dominance in Hungary.
The scandal first came to light in early February when it was revealed that the president had pardoned a man who had covered up a series of child sexual abuse cases at a state-run orphanage. This revelation sparked the largest protests the country has seen in years, leading to the resignation of close Orbán allies, including the president and Justice Minister.
