Hungarian authorities seized roughly $19.5 million in cash during a corruption investigation into Miklos Sesztak, who served as national development minister under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The money was found over two days of searches, buried in forested areas and hidden in farm buildings, warehouses and safes. Sesztak denies the charges against him. The case matters as a test of Hungary's graft enforcement against a senior figure from the Orban era, and prosecutors' next steps—whether formal charges follow the cash seizure—will be watched.
