NewzFormer Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has publicly explained his reasoning for nominating a state official for a high honor, despite the nominee later being convicted of the sexual abuse of numerous children. Public records show that the initial police investigation into the individual began in 2011.
Despite the ongoing police probe that originated during that period, the nomination by the former prime minister proceeded, leading to the bestowal of the state recognition before the subsequent conviction came to light.
