Budapest Court Pushes Maja T. Case to January 2026 With New Hearing Dates

The court set January dates following its refusal of a renewed request for house arrest.

Overview

  • Judge Jozsef Sos scheduled the next hearings for January 14, 16, 19 and 22, 2026, pausing proceedings until then.
  • The court again denied house arrest for Maja T., citing flight risk and the potential for further offenses.
  • The trial remains in the evidentiary phase with witnesses being heard and documents and video footage reviewed.
  • Prosecutors accuse Maja T. of assaults linked to February 2023 protests alongside members of the so‑called ‘Hammerbande,’ with a possible sentence of up to 24 years.
  • Political tensions continue as Orbán recently designated Antifa a terror organization and German lawmakers and the defense press for stronger action, including exploring an interstate complaint.
