  "account": "A court in Hungary has ordered the brother of former leader Viktor Orban, Aron Orban, to be held in custody for a month as part of an investigation into people-smuggling allegations. The court's statement revealed that Aron Orban and another suspect were ordered to be held over the case, with the right to appeal against the ruling. Orban was arrested along with three others on Monday in a joint operation by police and a unit established by Prime Minister Peter Magyar to investigate corruption during Orban's 16-year rule. The suspects are accused of helping over a hundred Vietnamese individuals obtain visas in 2024, reportedly charging a recruitment commission. Former Prime Minister Orban called the detention a \"dirty game,\" accusing the government of targeting political opponents. However, the court found sufficient evidence to warrant an investigation, accepting that Aron Orban and the other man might obstruct the investigation through witness tampering. One suspect was granted bail, while the fourth man was released.",
