匈牙利調查前外長使用高價私人航班出行

布達佩斯，9月15日（路透社）——匈牙利外交部長週二表示，她已對前部長彼得・西亞爾托（Peter Szijjarto）及其團隊提出刑事告發，指控他們過去4年經常搭乘昂貴的私人航班，而非定期航班。BUDAPEST, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Hungary's foreign minister said on Tuesday that she had filed a criminal complaint against former minister Peter Szijjarto and his team for regularly using costly private flights instead of scheduled flights in the past four years.

外交部長安妮塔・奧班（Anita Orban）提交的這份告發，是新政府推動反貪腐行動期間一連串調查發現中的最新一項；此前，總理彼得・馬格雅（Peter Magyar）在4月大選中以壓倒性勝利，擊敗執政16年的維克多・奧班（Viktor Orban）。The report filed by Foreign Minister Anita Orban is the latest in a series of findings by the new government in its anti-corruption drive, after Prime Minister Peter Magyar ousted Viktor Orban after 16 years in an April landslide election win.

維克多・奧班否認貪腐指控。他的發言人貝爾陶朗・哈瓦希（Bertalan Havasi）以電子郵件回覆路透社時表示，西亞爾托任外長期間的飛行安排完全符合相關政府法令。Viktor Orban has rejected allegations of corruption. His spokesman, Bertalan Havasi, said in an emailed reply to Reuters that the foreign minister's flights fully complied with the relevant government decree.

他說：「近年來，外交暨貿易部的對外公務行程安排效率堪稱典範。」「因此，彼得・西亞爾托應獲讚揚，而不是受到出於政治動機的攻擊。」"In recent years, foreign engagements for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade have been organised with exemplary efficiency," he said. "Peter Szijjarto therefore deserves praise, not politically motivated attacks."

安妮塔・奧班週二在臉書（Facebook）發布影片表示，在西亞爾托及其團隊的出行安排中，看不出任何節省經費的考量。In a video posted on Facebook on Tuesday, Anita Orban said there was no trace of savings considerations in Szijjarto and his team's travel arrangements.

她說：「自2022年起，他們例行改用包租私人航班或軍機，供部長（西亞爾托）及其代表團出行。」"From 2022 onwards, they routinely shifted to using chartered private flights or the army's planes for the minister (Szijjarto) and his delegation's travels," she said.

她表示，文件和調查顯示，2022年至2026年間，這些行程平均花費幾乎是定期商務艙航班的6倍，多出40億福林（1260萬美元）。She said documents and the probe showed that, between 2022 and 2026, these trips cost on average almost six times, or 4 billion forints ($12.6 million) more than scheduled business-class flights would have cost.

她補充說：「因此，已查明的事實引發涉嫌資金管理不當並造成重大損失的疑慮，也牽涉到該部前任領導層的責任。」"The uncovered facts therefore raise the suspicion of mismanagement of funds causing a significant loss, and also raise the responsibility of the ministry's former leadership," she added.

（1美元 = 318.3500福林）($1 = 318.3500 forints)
