Two local staff at Hungary embassy fired after Bolsonaro video leak – report

The Hungarian embassy in Brasília has reportedly fired two Brazilian employees after the leaking of security footage that revealed how Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro had spent two nights “hiding” inside the mission.

According to the network CNN Brasil, the sackings were punishment for the embarrassing leak to the New York Times which prompted a political outcry in Brazil and calls for Bolsonaro’s arrest.

“Even without proving the employees’ involvement in divulging the video, the Hungarian mission decided to dismiss the Brazilians who had access to the monitor that displayed the images in real-time,” CNN Brasil reported.
