The accusations come in the wake of a report that revealed a Hungarian intelligence official allegedly posed as a diplomat, attempting to recruit EU staff as spies, while Várhelyi was Hungary's envoy to Brussels. Following this information, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, had a meeting with Várhelyi, and the European Commission announced the establishment of a working group to investigate the allegations.
