Radical right-wing activist György Budaházy, in remand for months on charges of terrorism, crimes against the state and vandalism, is likely to escape prosecution, as Jobbik has obtained the required number of nominations to register him as a parliamentary candidate in Budapest's 11th District.
Budaházy may officially become a candidate next week if there are no legal challenges, meaning that criminal proceedings against him will automatically have to be suspended.
His trial in an appeals court on charges of crimes against the state is to begin on April 9.
