The new Hungarian government will review the application for a 16 billion euro loan for the defense sector from the European Commission due to corruption risks. The European Commission financing package was based on soft loans and the former government of Viktor Orban applied for 16 billion euros.

But after the scheme was launched, a large part of the Hungarian defense industry was privatized by 4iG, through several procedures that are now under investigation for corruption. According to Hungarian media, the bulk of these funds would benefit 4iG itself.

The credit freeze by the Magyar government is suspected to be mainly related to 4iG, considered to be Orban's court company. Due to these developments, kontrol.hu, a media outlet close to the party of the Magyar prime minister, writes that 4iG could be heading towards bankruptcy.

4iG is the parent company that owns One Albania. 4iG's financial woes are expected to have serious consequences for One. One Albania and the entire 4iG group are now classified as a corporation with a tarnished reputation due to the company's political connections, as well as high financial risks, not only due to the blocking of funds that the group benefited from by the former Orban government, but also due to the possible legal consequences from the corruption investigations that the government of Peter Magyar has warned about.
