BUDAPEST, July 30-- The Budapest prosecutor's office charged former president of the Hungarian swimming federation Tamas Gyarfas with ordering the murder in 1998 of his media business rival, Janos Fenyo, according to official sources here on Tuesday. "The Budapest Chief Public Prosecutor's Office charged Tamas Gyarfas with incitement to a premeditated murder," the prosecutor's office declared here in a statement. "According to the indictment, the accused was an important Hungarian media entrepreneur in the 1990s, as was Janos Fenyo," the statement added. "From the mid-1990s, a trade dispute, a struggle for power and, as a result, an intense personal conflict developed between the accused and the victim," according to the statement. The prosecution developed: "In 1997, the accused decided to kill the victim to put an end to the conflicts. For this reason, in September 1997, he hired a well known mobster to kill Fenyo for the amount of 12 million forints, which, after receiving an advance of 6 million forints, did not execute the order. For this reason, the suspect has mandated Tamas P., whom he knew since 1994 to kill Janos Fenyo." According to the prosecution, Tamas P. accepted the order and persuaded J.R. - already convicted for this murder - to kill the victim. J.R. killed the victim sitting in his car at a red light with a machine gun in the late afternoon of Feb. 11, 1998 in the 2nd district of Budapest. |
