Hungarian Conservative

Hungarian energy drink company HELL sued Forbes Hungary in 2019 to prevent the publication of its owners’ personal information in the magazine’s annual special edition listing the 50 richest Hungarians. A temporary court order required the publisher to recall the issue, and remove the names of the owners from the magazine’s online platform. Despite this precedent, Forbes has recently published an article which featured the personal data of the owners, accompanied by what the company describes as ‘sensationalist and ad hominem comments in a tabloid style’.
