Investigative reports say two IT specialists linked to the opposition Tisza Party were questioned and devices seized in a probe led by the Constitution Protection Office, with no illegal files found, and party leader Péter Magyar accuses state intelligence of a covert operation ahead of the 12 April election.

Direct36 reported a 2025 investigation into two IT specialists linked to the Tisza Party after an anonymous tip alleging possession of child sexual abuse material.
Authorities seized computers, discs and servers and found no illegal files on the confiscated devices.
Direct36 said Hungary's Constitution Protection Office directed the investigation.
The probe began after one IT specialist refused an approach asking him to hack the party's systems ahead of the election.
Péter Magyar said the actions were a covert operation ordered by Viktor Orbán and vowed to investigate if Tisza wins the 12 April parliamentary vote.
Polls show the Tisza Party leading ahead of the 12 April election and Orbán's Fidesz has governed with an absolute majority for 16 years, and the government has not responded to the allegations.
