Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar has said that the country's prosecutor general, who was appointed during the tenure of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, will soon resign. He also hinted that the move may be linked to the case involving the detention of cash-in-transit guards from Ukraine's Oschadbank.

Details: According to Magyar, no special measures are required for the resignation of Hungary's prosecutor general, as he is expected to step down of his own accord in the near future.
Asked whether this was connected to the scandal surrounding the detention of Oschadbank cash-in-transit staff, Magyar replied that it may be connected.
Background:
A week earlier, Magyar announced an investigation into the actions of certain Hungarian authorities in connection with the seizure of Ukrainian cash-in-transit personnel and Oschadbank funds in March 2026.
On 6 May, the Hungarian side returned to Ukraine the money and valuables belonging to Oschadbank that had remained in Hungary since the detention of the guards.
In an interview with European Pravda, Ukraine's Ambassador to Hungary Fedor Shandor stressed that it was important not only for the property to be returned but also for those responsible to be held accountable.
