At the beginning of the July, we could not get through to Tam\u00e1s Balogh when we called the National Tax and Customs Authority (NAV): a couple of months earlier, the department in charge of major procurements, formerly led by Balogh, had been dissolved.<\/p>\n

In March, we revealed that Balogh has a remarkable network of personal relationships.<\/a> He knows Gy\u0151z\u0151 Orb\u00e1n Jr., one of the two brothers of Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n. He is also an acquaintance of a businessman called G\u00e1bor Szentgy\u00f6rgyi, whose companies have received multiple contracts from public institutions, including NAV. Balogh, Orb\u00e1n Jr. and Szentgy\u00f6rgyi have ties to the same circle of former wrestlers.<\/p>\n

Three days after the publication of our article, the organizational structure of NAV<\/a> was modified based on an instruction of the Minister of Finance. Several departments were affected by the change and the department in charge of major procurements was dissolved. Since April, Balogh is not listed among the leaders of NAV<\/a> either.<\/p>\n

We can only do this work if we have supporters. Become a supporting member now!<\/a><\/div>\n

We asked NAV, the Ministry of Finance and Balogh about the reason for the dissolution of the department, and whether the change was due to our article published a couple of days previously, but we didn\u2019t get any response. NAV and Balogh did not let us know either whether Balogh is still employed by NAV in a different position or his contract was terminated.<\/p>\n

The department in charge of major procurements of NAV was set up in October 2016 to conduct bigger public procurement procedures, including that of buying IT products. The first time Balogh was named as a contact person on a procurement document was in June 2017.<\/p>\n

By that time, the companies of Balogh\u2019s acquaintance, G\u00e1bor Szentgy\u00f6rgyi, had already been successful in several major public procurements. One of his companies, IMG Solution Kft., received contracts from NAV both before and after Balogh became the head the department in charge of major procurements.<\/p>\n

Thanks to these contracts, IMG, which still does not have a functioning website, has 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. In 2018, IMG had 9.5 billion forints (29.4 million euros) in revenues and 1.3 billion forints in profits (4 million euros). The owners received 450 million forints (1.4 million euros) in dividends.<\/p>\n

For Hungarian company data, we used the services of Opten.<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

After we revealed their relationship, the tax authority was restructured, Balogh is not a head of department any more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":5655,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[50,142,146,232,239,256,258,259,312],"ppma_author":[522,556],"class_list":["post-9728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-az-orban-csalad-uzletei","tag-balogh-tamas","tag-img","tag-informatika","tag-nav","tag-nemzeti-ado-es-vamhivatal","tag-orban","tag-orban-gyozo","tag-orban-viktor","tag-szentgyorgyi-gabor","author-cap-andraspetho","author-cap-zoldi-blankadirekt36-hu"],"authors":[{"term_id":522,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"cap-andraspetho","display_name":"AndrasPetho","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","description":"","first_name":"","last_name":"","user_url":""},{"term_id":556,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"cap-zoldi-blankadirekt36-hu","display_name":"zoldi.blanka@direkt36.hu","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","description":"","first_name":"","last_name":"","user_url":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9728"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/direkt36.exot.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=9728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
