More Sharing ServicesShare|Share on facebookShare on myspaceShare on googleShare on twitter

On Tuesday, the Kecskemét Tribunal saw the return of the trial of the Budapest Transit Company (BKV). This was the first hearing of 2013. Of the 15 defendants in the case, Dr. Iván Miklós Horváth and Tünde Buday provided testimonies regarding a 2007 contract between BKV and Optimismo Ltd.


According to the indictment, on February 1st, 2007 Horváth, who was a legal representative of BKV, “persuaded” former CEO Attila Antal to enter into an “unnecessary” contractual agreement with Optimismo. The contracted work worth 19,200,000.00 HUF involved technical inspection of BKV’s photocopiers.
The prosecution claims that no work was ever completed according to the terms of the contract. Instead, the agreement actually offered the financial means to fulfill an unofficial “severance” agreement between BKV and its former CEO Aba Botond.
Buday, who was the owner of Optimismo, stated in court that she never assisted in the contracted work. Another employ obliged to the contracted terms, and then Buday paid the employ from the 19.2 million forints.
In a previous hearing, Attila Antal admitted his guilt in relation to the Optimismo contract. According to him, the contracted work was never fulfilled.
Buday, who is accused of document forgery for signing the contract completion report, denied her guilt in addition to an accusation of complicity in misappropriation of funds.
Horváth did not offer any additions to his investigation testimony. Instead, he objected to the wording of the formal indictment. In Horváth’s opinion, the accusations made against him are too vague and responding to them is “impossible.” He added that the crimes of which he is accused occurred while he was abroad. He confirmed this statement by providing his passport to the court.
At the end of the hearing, Zsolt Balogh, the fourth defendant in the case, provided photos for the court which displayed the controversial passenger information system still in operation.

Defendants Confess in BKV Trial; Balogh Confirms the Information System is Still Effective

On Tuesday, the Kecskemét Tribunal saw the return of the trial of the Budapest Transit Company (BKV).  This was the first hearing of 2013.

The Hagyó case continued

Newest hearings in the Hagyó case

The BKV case continued with the hearing of two defendants on the Kecskemét Court. H. Iván, Hagyó’s former lawyer and B. Tünde, who is a CEO in one of the company who they had contract with denied their guiltiness. B. Tünde was charged with misappropriation as a privy (assistant/auxiliary in a crime) and with forgery in the case of the copier at the Optimismo Ltd.

In an earlier hearing Antal Attila in this one question admitted his guiltiness. According to the former CEO of the BKV they signed a contract without real achievement with this Ltd., because from the inlet 20 million forints they paid Aba Botond’s (former CEO of the BKV) severance payment. Antal Attila verified this achievement. According to the statement of B. Tünde (CEO of Optimismo) she didn’t assisted in the review of the BKV copiers, another person made the actual work and she even gave the money to that person.

H. Iván defendant didn’t make another testimony, he maintained his instigation testimony. He objected that the indictment is pen/define in general, whereat it’s impossible to respond. He said it too that they accuse him with crimes what happened at times when he was abroad. He approved this with passport.

In the end of the hearing Balogh Zsolt gave photos to the court, which can prove that the passenger informant system is still working.

Újabb meghallgatások a Hagyó-perben

Két vádlott meghallgatásával folytatódott a BKV-per tárgyalása a Kecskeméti Törvényszéken. H. Iván, Hagyó egykori ügyvédje és B. Tünde, egy szerződő cég ügyvezetője is tagadta bűnösségét. B. Tünde bűnsegédként elkövetett hűtlen kezeléssel és magánokirat-hamisítással vádolják az Optimismo Kft. nagy port kavart fénymásoló-ügyében.

Egy korábbi tárgyaláson ebben az egy kérdésben a fővádlottak közül Antal Attila elismerte bűnösségét. Az egykori BKV-vezér a nyomozás adatai szerint azért kötött valódi teljesítés nélküli szerződést a kft-vel, hogy a befolyó 20 millió forintból elődje, Aba Botond végkielégítését kifizessék. A teljesítést Antal Attila igazolta. B. Tünde, az Optimismo ügyvezetője állítása szerint nem vett részt a BKV-fénymásolók felülvizsgálatában, a tényleges munkát egy másik személy végezte el, a pénzt is neki adta át.

H. Iván vádlott nem tett új vallomást, nyomozati vallomásait fenntartotta. Kifogásolta, hogy a vádirat általánosságokban fogalmaz, melyekre lehetetlen reagálni. Jelezte azt is, hogy olyan időpontban elkövetett bűncselekménnyel is megvádolták, amelynek vélt elkövetésekor külföldön tartózkodott. Ezt útlevelével bizonyította is.

A tárgyalás végén Balogh Zsolt fotókat adott át a bíróságnak, amelyek bizonyítják, a szentendrei HÉV utastájékoztató-rendszere a mai napig rendben üzemel.
