Ákos Major

From the Hungarian Wikipedia page

Major Ákos Antal Gyula (Tasnádi Major-Maróthy) (Újpest, May 23, 1908) - Budapest, 26 May 1987) Hungarian lawyer, judges, the Budapest People's Court and the National Council of People's Courts. Major brother of Tamás Major. He was the chairman of the National National Committee (the Electoral Control Body) at the time of the blue ballot election.

He was chairman of the People's Door Council, among others, in the case of former Prime Minister Laszlo Bárdossy, who was sentenced to death and executed. As a defense lawyer in 1956, he repeatedly called for strengthening the sentence.

As a defense lawyer, he was involved in the revelations of the 1956 Revolution and, despite this role, repeatedly called for aggravation. Otherwise (as Kiss Gaal's case) revealed the deficiencies of the accusations (he also had experience of making political accusations) argued for relief.

István Lugossy, whose brother was defended by Ákos Major after 1956, recalled: "Because of his duties, Major Ákos was completely independent of hangings because, as he told my parents, he was extremely entertained by him."
