Hungarian Parliament removes Prime Minister's immunity over phone theft

The Hungarian Parliament lifted immunity from Prime Minister Péter Mádaiár after he was charged with stealing a mobile phone from a man inside a nightclub in 2024, during which he threw the phone into the Danube River. The parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor with 139 deputies, with no opposition or abstentions, despite Mádaiár having himself requested the lifting of his immunity and confirming his readiness to cooperate with the investigation. The prosecution accused him of snatching the phone while he was being filmed before tossing it into the river, a claim he denies, describing the case as a "farce" and considering it a "political assassination." Following the removal of immunity, he can now be interrogated and prosecuted. The session also saw immunity lifted from the former Minister of Culture and the former Minister of Development in separate corruption cases.
