Russian official allegedly gave Hungary report on anti-opposition influence op

A Hungarian investigative book claims First Deputy PM Manturov handed Hungarian FM Szijjártó a Russian intelligence report detailing a campaign to discredit opposition politician Istvan Kapitan of the Tisza party, allegedly to aid Fidesz in April elections. The claim is sourced from a book by investigator Szabolcs Panyi and is not independently corroborated.
