Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The government believes the contract is unlawful because activities that should have been public procurement were commissioned by the concessionaire. Due to the observed breaches of neither EU nor Hungarian public procurement rules, the government plans to file a criminal complaint regarding circumstances of breach of fiduciary duty.
