Who they are
Ferenc Nagy, Prime Minister of Hungary from 1946 to 1947, later living in exile.
What they do
Declassified records tie him to a 1959 inquiry about using the company Permindex as intelligence cover for the CIA.
How it works
According to National Archives records and CIA internal documents, in 1959 Nagy actively asked about using Permindex (a company the engine flags as an alleged CIA front) as formal cover for spy work.
Why it matters
He serves as a named human link in the long-running allegation that Permindex was used as CIA cover, though the engine keeps several readings of his role open rather than settling on one.
