Hungary's Integrity Authority, an anti-fraud body tasked with overseeing European Union funds, lacks the proper investigative authority to expose possible wrongdoing, its leader told Reuters, calling for an extension of the body's powers. The body, created under EU pressure by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government to unlock billions of euros worth of funds suspended over rule-of-law concerns, was launched in late 2022 to prevent, detect and correct the misuse of EU money. International watchdogs say Orban has long channelled EU funds to businessmen close to his nationalist Fidesz party to entrench himself in power.
