The expert had to examine the evidentiary value of the signal from the tracking dog that started barking at the safes.
Although the court recently extended the detention of former Development Minister Miklós Seszták over an alleged 9 billion forint stash, a forensic canine expert opinion stated that the detection dog's signal alone does not count as evidence. Since the authorities did not find any money, there is nothing to clearly prove that such a large amount of cash was ever stored in safes linked to the politician, Telex wrote.
Although the expert opinion states that the sniffer dog's signal alone is not probative, the court nevertheless extended the arrest of former Development Minister Miklós Seszták in the case of alleged 9 billion forints of hidden assets. The defense complains that the document that casts light on the investigation was already available before the decision, but was not taken into account.
A turning point in the case of Miklós Seszták, an important expert opinion may have been left out - It was completed before the decision was made to extend his arrest.
Investigators based the existence of the nine billion forints on the testimony of one of the suspects and the indication of the tracking dog. The latter, however, is not evidence. The post Sesták case: the search dog could bark in vain at the safes, which were not even found in the home of the former minister first appeared on 24.hu.
