A Budapest court on Wednesday sentenced the former head of the Hungarian Swimming Association, Tamas Gyarfas, to seven years in prison for inciting the murder of a business rival in 1998.

Media tycoon Janos Fenyo was killed in his car with a silenced submachine gun at a busy Budapest intersection on February 11, 1998, marking one of the country’s most infamous mob hits.

The Budapest regional court found 74-year-old Gyarfas guilty of “incitement to premeditated murder”.
