The central bureau of investigation of the public prosecutor’s office has questioned Márta Demeter, a lawmaker of green opposition LMP, in relation to charges she abused her office.
The prosecutor’s office said in a statement on Friday that in September 2018 Demeter accessed information relating to the Hungarian armed forces before posting it on social media, falsely claiming that a close relative of the prime minister had used military aircraft for a private journey.
