Ex-wife of Hungary's Peter Magyar testifies in court in high-profile corruption case
Former justice minister Judit Varga appeared in court on July 3 as a witness in a high-profile corruption case, which centres around Gyorgy Schadl, former head of the bailiff chamber (MBVK), and ex-state secretary of the Justice Minister Pal Volner.
Judit Varga appeared in public for the first time since the pardon case broke out: she testified in the Schadl-Völner trial. She then told the press that Péter Magyar is a fabrication and that betrayal is not an achievement. We also asked her if she really arranged the state positions for her ex-husband, as Fidesz members claim.
“I wasn’t really interested,” the former justice minister said of the executive appointments that were handed out for bribes over the years.
Péter Magyar reacted on Facebook to what his ex-wife said during the Völner-Schadl case trial.
Judit Varga was heard as a witness by the court in the Völner-Schadl case on Thursday. In addition to her ex-husband's political successes, we asked the former justice minister why she said that Antal Rogán had himself removed from the prosecution's files.
