Note – this is an abbreviated English version of a much longer Hungarian-language article that goes into greater detail of the orchestrated bombings

**More background information**

>In April 2011, Roháč was extradited to Hungary,[4] where he faced charges for **multiple assassinations**: Ferenc Domák, pander in 1996, János Fenyő, media magnate in 1998, and Tamás Boros, maffia boss in 1998. In the latter crime three bystanders were also killed in the explosion. In March 2016 the attorney requested lifetime imprisonment for Roháč in a joint trial of his crimes

> a DNA sample taken back in 2008 was finally matched with samples left behind by the suspected assassin of Hungarian media mogul János Fenyő in 1998. On May 4, 2011 the Chief Prosecutor’s Office in Budapest has launched an i**nquiry into delays in identifying the DNA** after recently refusing to accept an explanation by the National Bureau of Investigation. In Hungary, DNA samples taken from criminals must be automatically matched with unidentified samples taken at past crime scenes. According to the newspaper Népszabadság, it is **not yet clear whether the delay was caused by police or another authority.**

> Jozef Rohác claims he blew up at Torgyán and Szájer’s apartment and at the Fidesz headquarters in 1998
>
> The investigation into the case was unsuccessful, and since the crime has long since expired, it is **no longer possible to prosecute the perpetrators**.

>> Rohác did not take part in the preliminary planning of the series of bombings against the politicians of the time, i.e. Fidesz and the Independent Smallholders’ Party, Rohác was not involved, but **they only told him that the bombings must be carried out**, and that these are **happening in the interest of Fidesz**. He doesn’t know if this was really the case, he didn’t know any Fidesz politicians personally, and **he was told by the one who gave the order.**

> According to the man in prison, the bombings had to be carried out because of Fidesz’s interests, so they asked the lawyer why there were assassination attempts even after the election, when Fidesz was already in government.
>
> “**The last bombing had to be made in order to divert the suspicion of Fidesz**, because after the bombing against Szájer just over a week before the election, many people have actually started talking about self-deception. **They wanted to disprove such rumours.** He claims that before the bomb was detonated, he called the Fidesz headquarters to see if János Áder was in his office, and he only activated the explosive device when it turned out that Áder was not in the room. According to him, this also proves that neither politician was wanted to be murdered,” said Ilona Patócs.

Ok ok ok, careful spoiler:

Orban will try to stage an assassination attempt against himself and then blame Ukrainian intelligence and/or his rivals.
