“In our view, given the developments regarding the seizing of the Ukrainian cash transport, the position of Prosecutor General Dr. Gábor Bálint Nagy has become untenable. In the interest of restoring the public’s confidence in the independence of the Office of the Prosecutor General and its role in overseeing compliance with the law, the Prosecutor General must immediately step down from his office and allow for an independent, transparent, and comprehensive investigation into all circumstances surrounding the case, as well as the perpetrators to be held accountable,” the statement of the Dr. Lóránt Horváth Law Firm, which represents the Ukrainian cash transporters reads.
