Hungary's Parliament voted on Monday to lift the parliamentary immunity of three lawmakers, including the country's prime minister, Péter Magyar, as prosecutors proceed with ongoing criminal investigations.
Prosecutors are investigating Magyar on suspicion of misdemeanor theft after he allegedly took a man's mobile phone during a nightclub altercation and threw it into the Danube River in June 2024, nearly two years before his party won a landslide election that unseated former populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
