Former Hungarian Official Releases Recording Alleging Government Corruption Cover-Up
- Former Hungarian government insider Peter Magyar released an audio recording alleging top officials conspired to cover up corruption.
- The recording features a voice Magyar claims is his ex-wife, former Justice Minister Judit Varga, describing removing evidence from court records.
- Varga resigned amid scandal over the president's pardon of a man jailed for covering up child sexual abuse.
- Magyar hopes to challenge Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's party's 14-year grip on power by forming a new party.
- The recording targets Orbán ally Antal Rogan as leading efforts to alter evidence to cover up corruption.
