Sándor Farkas

Fidesz MP Sándor Farkas, deputy chair of parliament's agriculture committee, owns 37 percent of, and chairs the board of, Kinizsi 2000 Mezőgazdasági Zrt., a company that a 2015 444.hu investigation found had received HUF 3.8 billion in state agricultural subsidies between 2007 and 2015. Alongside the subsidies, the company also obtained state land: in one year alone it was granted 151.5 hectares without any tender being announced. The company additionally received HUF 44.5 million for the Kinizsi Park, co-owned by his wife, and HUF 50 million for an equestrian tourism complex under the Széchenyi Plan. A December 2014 Átlátszó article listed Farkas among Fidesz MPs who obtained a combined 151 hectares of state land across 56 separate parcels near Nyírbátor without any tender process; asked about the quality of the larger plots, Farkas replied: "There were some like that, but very poor-quality land that nobody wanted." The article noted that area-based subsidies alone brought the company more than ten million forints a year from land acquired without competitive bidding.
