Woman, 70, linked to Orbán escort accident in Germany charged
German prosecutors have charged a 70-year-old woman with manslaughter in connection with the death of a police outrider escorting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to Stuttgart airport in June last year. The 61-year-old police motorcyclist was seriously injured in an accident with the woman's car and died later in hospital. A second officer was injured in the accident on June 24, 2024. Orbán had been in Stuttgart to watch the Hungarian national team play in a European Cup match the day before. The woman, who was 69 at the time, is to face charges of negligent manslaughter and causing injury. The force of the collision through the 61-year-old officer's motorcycle propelled it against that of his 27-year-old colleague, who was blocking an intersection, according to a police report at the time. Hundreds of police officers conducted a march through central Stuttgart to the church where the funeral was held. And a minute of silence was held on a square in the city. Stuttgart prosecutors were unable to say whether the accused had responded to the charges.
