Since then, Fidesz commenters have been wondering whether yet a third COVID victim in Tatabánya met her or not. The second victim was an employee of the Tatabánya City Hall. Ferenc Gyurcsány met the DK council member who died twenty days later of COVID-19.” Actually, the article claims that she “may have met not one but two people” who subsequently died of COVID. So today, Origo came out with a story titled “Mrs. Klára Dobrev in Szeged Mayor László Botka’s office.
Prior to the discovery of the infection, Dobrev went on a campaign trip and visited a few cities, including Tatabánya, Szombathely, Salgótarján, and Szeged. Today, however, Origo, followed by Magyar Nemzet and numerous other government papers, came out with a new story about Klára Dobrev, who on March 5 discovered that she had contracted COVID-19, resulting in double pneumonia. If four years weren’t enough to name suspects in this case, I doubt that the police will produce one in the near future, and therefore these articles accusing Dobrev and Gyurcsány of embezzling 18 billion forints are good only for propaganda purposes. A day later, Komáromi died at the age of 47. After 2010, the Orbán government set out to gain ownership of the source code, upping the game and siccing the Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal/NAV (National Tax and Customs Office) on Welt 2000. Gordon Bajnai, who became head of the National Development Agency in 2008, attempted to purchase the patent, but although the government even used pressure on Komáromi by launching an investigation of the company, they didn’t succeed. Since WELT 2000 was the first company to begin work on the NFÜ project, it had a major advantage, which was amplified by the fact that Komáromi retained the source code. The company was chosen for its first job, amounting to a modest 262 million forints, out of a pool of 20 relatively small companies. He managed to make NFÜ the captive of WELT 2000. What I managed to learn is that András Komáromi was a very clever businessman in addition to being a talented programmer. This is very complicated affair, as usual with these corruption cases. And they have been investigating ever since, apparently without even naming a suspect. János Lázár, at this point chief-of-staff of the prime minister’s office, pressed charges “against unknown perpetrators.” After two years of investigation, in 2019 the police were ready to drop the case when the prosecutor’s office insisted on continuing the investigation. The Hungarian government was told that it must repay the European Union 18 billion forints, which was spent illegally between 20. It was in 2017 that OLAF (European Anti-Fraud Office) handed down the results of its investigation of the EMIR affair.
Obviously, Klára Dobrev’s possible candidacy for the premiership prompted the Fidesz propaganda paper to return to the topic. No one questions the veracity of the charge that WELT 2000 illegally won the contracts, but what is strange is that it is only now that Origo discovers the case, which has been dragging on ever since 2017.
In 2017, OLAF discovered the illegal practice which, by the way, continued even after 2010.

The charge is that the agency entrusted, without a competitive bidding process, the creation of a software program called Egységes Monitoring Információs Rendszer/EMIR (Unified Monitoring Information System) that was to handle all transactions between the EU and Hungary to a company called WELT 2000, owned by András Komáromi. The other deputy director was Péter Heil, who after 2010 was employed by Altus, the Gyurcsány family firm. Appointed in 2002, by August 2004 she had to resign her job because her husband, Ferenc Gyurcsány, became prime minister. Dobrev’s tenure at the agency turned out to be short. The alleged crime took place during the time that Klára Dobrev was one of the deputy directors of the Nemzeti Fejlesztési Ügynökség/NFÜ (National Development Agency), responsible for handling the European Union’s financial contributions. On March 22, Origo reported that the police are again investigating the Gyurcsány couple’s corrupt backroom deal that resulted in a 18 billion forint loss to the European Union.
