Hungarian Prime Minister stripped of immunity

The Hungarian parliament has stripped the immunity of Prime Minister Peter Magyar, who is accused of theft.

Operativ Media reports, citing foreign media, that lawmakers voted by a majority to approve the prosecution's motion to strip the head of government of his immunity, paving the way for a criminal case to be launched against him.

According to reports, a criminal case will be opened against him in connection with the theft of a phone.

Notably, in June 2024, Magyar snatched a mobile phone from a person who was filming him in a nightclub and threw it into the Danube River.
