A Hungarian member of the European Parliament has been indicted for allegedly spying on the European Union, prosecutors said. Kovacs, who has been a member of the EU parliament since 2010, worked and studied in Russia for many years. The case first came to light in mid-2014, when prosecutors asked the European Parliament to lift Kovacs's immunity, though at the time the reason was classified. The Jobbik party said in a statement: "It was long clear to us ... that Fidesz was trying to weaken us, the government-changing force."
