Magyar Alleges 'Honeypot' Plot, Files Complaint Over Threatened Sex Video

The allegations land during Hungary’s election campaign as his Tisza party leads public polls.

Overview

  • Péter Magyar says he was lured into a setup using secret-service methods and confirms he had consensual sex in an apartment on August 3, 2024.
  • He filed a criminal complaint after receiving anonymous threats to publish a secretly recorded sex video, citing unlawful data collection and misuse of personal data.
  • A website and social posts showed a bedroom image labeled “Coming soon,” but the existence or authenticity of any video has not been independently verified.
  • Hungarian journalists identified the room as an Airbnb in Budapest owned by the spouse of a businessman whose companies reportedly receive state contracts.
  • Representatives of Fidesz deny involvement, his ex-partner says she is also a victim and open to legal action, and Magyar warns prior recordings may have been edited or manipulated.
