Breaking News: Police Officers Not Guilty of Rape Charges

Earlier today DNS tests revealed that the police officers did not rape the 21 year old Zsanett. As is known, five police officers were suspended for allegedly raping the young woman on May 4 while on duty in downtown Budapest.

There have been several conflicting accounts of the story so far; the police officers and their lawyers have said throughout that they were not involved in any sort of physical contact with the woman. One defendant's lawyer did admit, however, that there have been minor offences on the part of the policemen. For example, they didn't write a report and left their precinct when they followed Zsanett home.

This latest finding will certainly have a big impact on the whole political sphere as the main opposition party, Fidesz, had immediately demanded that the justice minister and police chiefs leave office after the rape allegations surfaced - the latest in a string of allegations against members of the force.

Ferenc Gyurcsany, the Hungarian PM, said Sunday that the justice minister had resigned and the national and Budapest police chiefs were dismissed in an effort to restore public confidence in the force after several criminal investigations involving officers.
