Presenting the police report for last year, Tamás Terdik said: “Since the advent of modern statistics, there have never been so few crimes committed in public areas, car theft and burglaries as in 2025.”
The number of crimes committed in Budapest involving a police procedure decreased by 22.6 percent, from 52,185 in 2024 to 40,371 last year, the police chief said.
Those committed in public areas shrank by 15%, with 13,599 such cases in 2024 and 11,561 in 2025, he said.
At the same time, however, the number of manslaughter cases increased from 29 to 41 in the same period, he added.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
