For example, the accounts of the National Data Assets Agency included items "that make it particularly justified to clarify the purpose of use in a state-owned company. Hotel suites, restaurant consumption, wine, gin, gift certificates, jewelry, premium foods, and a board game for adults were also included among the expenses."

After the due diligence, the Ministry of Science and Technology filed complaints in six cases and a total value of 20 billion forints.
