US sanctions Antal Rogán, Key Member Of Viktor Orbán’s inner circle for ‘corruption’ | TN WORLD

United States has imposed sanctions on Antal Rogán, a close ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, accusing him of orchestrating systemic corruption within Hungary's political system. The sanctions, enforced under the Global Magnitsky Act, mark the first time such action has been taken against a sitting minister of a NATO ally, signaling a significant escalation in U.S.-Hungary tensions. The U.S. Treasury cited Rogán’s role in enriching political allies through his government position, while U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman emphasized the need for accountability, calling Rogán a "primary architect" of corruption. The sanctions come amid growing Western criticism of Orbán’s pro-Russia stance, his recent meeting with Vladimir Putin, and his increasingly vocal opposition to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld
