Corrupt city official in Kecskemét caught mid-bribe

Although there’s the general assumption that once a person gets into a position of power in Hungary, they can be as corrupt as they want to be without having to the suffer the consequences, that’s not always the case. Earlier this week, a city official in Kecskemét was busted accepting a bribe over zoning plans in the area, index.hu wrote. The police were directed to the man after his superior became suspicious that he was accepting bribes, and they followed him waiting for him to make a dodgy deal. Thus, not only does this story reveal that people in a position of power just might have to pay for their actions, but that there are honest people in positions of power as well. Unless of course the guy’s coworker was just upset because it was cutting into her side business.
