Rahel Orban has reportedly been accepted to an American university. Her husband's company, BDPST Group, owned by Istvan Tiborcz, confirmed that the family is relocating due to her studies.
She had long been planning to return to the US, where she had previously spent a semester at Boston University. Rahel has stated that she wants to gain new knowledge and experiences to bring back to her homeland.
The news has sparked debate, especially after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called for the Hungarian diaspora to return to the country, while his party, Fidesz, is losing ground to the opposition Tisza party.
Previously, Istvan Tiborcz - Orban's son-in-law - has been in the public spotlight due to his rapidly growing wealth and connections to power.
In an interview with the Financial Times, he denied taking advantage of family connections, saying "I'm a businessman, not a politician. I only became interesting because I'm the prime minister's son-in-law."
The European Union's anti-fraud office had been investigating Tiborczy's company Elios, which had won major state contracts for infrastructure projects involving street lighting and transportation.
According to investigators, the prices were severely inflated and the deals may have involved corrupt schemes. /Telegraph/
