Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Hungarian investigators have seized nearly €20 million in cash hidden at multiple locations while probing corruption allegations against a former minister, with funds found buried and stashed in concealed spots. The discovery, announced by Hungarian authorities, underscores the scale of alleged graft tied to the unnamed ex-minister and adds to pressure on the government's anti-corruption record. Prosecutors have not yet detailed charges, and further asset seizures or formal indictments are the next milestones to watch.
