Aron Orban, brother of Hungary’s former prime minister Viktor Orban, was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, according to a report shared by current leader Peter Magyar. The arrest comes amid investigations into alleged corruption linked to the former government; Viktor Orban called it a politically motivated attempt to target him.

Police said several people were detained in Budapest and nearby Pest County as part of a joint operation, with searches under way. One investigation concerns an alleged group that promised to secure Hungarian visas for foreign nationals outside normal procedures in exchange for payment; journalists previously linked a company associated with Aron Orban to a visa scheme. Magyar won April’s election after 16 years of Orban rule and has pledged to investigate alleged corruption and abuse of office.
