> followed its internal policy and Hungarian law and reported the incident to authorities

Ho-humm. Care to point where the Hungarian law mandates this? The old BTK was simpler but even the new is pretty clear in that only a very few serious acts are mandatory to report (meaning not reporting is a felony in itself). 145. and 159 § details how military and civil superiors must report the crimes of those under them, obviously does not apply. 191. § makes reporting attempted or committed kidnapping mandatory. 263. § are crimes against the state, treason, spying and shit. 300. § makes it a crime not to report corruption but only for officials. 317. § makes terrorism mandatory to report. 328. § is about violating international sanctions. Finally 404. § makes reporting of certain financial trickery but only for the actual executor of the bankruptcy.

Which one was this one? Or did I miss something? Was he trying to sell stuff to Russia violating the sanctions? Did he make an attempt to overthrow the government? Or what?




Followed its internal policy -> this is why they did it

and Hungarian law -> this is how they did it

European law about data protection and breaches, not sure if it is in effect yet and not sure if it applies to this exact case:
