Hungary lifts immunity of Prime Minister Magyar, two Orban-era ministers
Hungary's Parliament lifts immunity of incumbent leader and two former ministers, clearing the way for criminal probes.
The Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, has sent a cable of condolences to Malaysian Prime Minister Dr. Anwar Ibrahim following the death of his brother, Idrus Ibrahim.
In a separate development, Hungary's parliament has voted to strip Prime Minister Péter Magyar of his parliamentary immunity. This move allows authorities to investigate Magyar on suspicion of theft, related to an incident in a Budapest nightclub in the summer of 2024.
Magyar had argued with a patron who was filming him, and took the man's phone, throwing it into the Danube River. According to Magyar, he was stopping the man from harassing clubgoers. He described the case as politically motivated.
