Fidesz Ex-MP Asks Prosecutors to Probe Hungary's PM Magyar for Blackmailing Ex-Wife
Varga said Magyar threatened her for 14 months with a secret recording and described years of abuse and humiliation during the marriage.
- On November 13, 2026, former Fidesz MP Ilona Ekes filed a criminal complaint requesting prosecutors investigate Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar for blackmail and "relationship violence" against his ex-wife, Judit Varga.
- Varga, Hungary's former Minister of Justice, detailed years of alleged abuse and blackmail before a parliamentary committee on November 11, 2026, describing how Magyar used a secret January 2023 recording to threaten her.
- The complaint describes a long campaign of "psychological terror and control" within the marriage, alleging Magyar used the recording to force Varga into unfavorable custody and divorce terms throughout a 14-month period.
- Magyar dismissed the filing on Facebook as a "pathetic" attempt by Fidesz to divert attention from "Operation Purgatory," while prosecutors have yet to announce whether they will open an investigation.
- This legal action unfolds as the prosecution service, now under new chief Péter Fejes, navigates political polarization following the Tisza party's victory, which ended Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule in Hungary.
