This man is G\u00e1bor Szentgy\u00f6rgyi, an IT entrepreneur, whose company, despite not even having a functioning website, has been winning lucrative state contracts in recent years.<\/p>\n
During the match, Szentgy\u00f6rgyi was sitting next to Gy\u0151z\u0151 Orb\u00e1n Jr., one of the two brothers of the prime minister. As Direkt36 had reported<\/a>, Szentgy\u00f6rgyi and Orb\u00e1n Gy\u0151z\u0151 Jr. have known each other for years.<\/p>\n They are connected through wrestling.<\/p>\n Gy\u0151z\u0151 Orb\u00e1n Jr. had been a wrestler in his teenage years and returned to the sport in his 30s, even winning the European Championship in his age group. He has also been a prominent leader of the Hungarian wrestling scene: records show that he is the honorary president of a sport club, of which G\u00e1bor Szentgy\u00f6rgyi is also a member. Orb\u00e1n and Szentgy\u00f6rgyi even went on a trip organized by the club, news reports and photos show.<\/p>\n G\u00e1bor Szentgy\u00f6rgyi, second from the right.

Several sources who know Szentgy\u00f6rgyi personally confirmed to Direkt36 that he can be seen in 444\u2019s photos.<\/p>\n IMG Solution, a company selling IT and office products, produced spectacular growth in just a few years. In 2012, its revenues were only 46 million forints (150 thousand euros), but in 2015, it made 4.7 billion forints (15.2 million euros), meaning that it grew by 100 times. The company, which does not even have a functioning website, managed to accomplish this after a series of victories in lucrative state tenders.<\/p>\n In general, it is decided in several rounds which companies can provide IT and office technology products to government agencies and other state institutions. First, the Procurement and Supply Directorate selects companies, often dozens of them, through a procurement. The directorate signs a framework contract with the selected companies. Then the individual state agencies can order products, like laptops or photocopy machines, exclusively from these companies. For example, if the National Tax Authority wants to buy new computers, it has to solicit offers from the companies in the framework contract and will choose one of them.<\/p>\n IMG Solution got its first framework contract in September 2013. It was a 44-billion-forint (142.8 million euros) framework contract for \u201ccomputer systems and related services.\u201d The company has become a participant of 8 similar framework contracts since then. Four of these were finalized last year, including an 80-billion-forint (260 million euros) contract for providing IT devices.<\/p>\n The Procurement and Supply Directorate did not respond to questions about the amount of revenue IMG Solution actually received through these framework contracts and the company did not answer these questions either.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.direkt36.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/d36_3-1200x801.jpg\")
