Implicált

Implicált is a Hungarian adjective and past participle meaning involved or implicated. It is used to describe a person or entity connected to a matter, typically a crime, scandal, or ongoing investigation. While implicált indicates involvement or association, it does not by itself establish guilt or responsibility.

The term is formed from the verb implicál (to implicate) and the suffix -t/-ált forming the past participle; in practice, its inflected forms agree with the noun it modifies (implicált személy, implicált személyek). The language treats it as a descriptive attribute rather than a legal verdict.

In legal, political, and media contexts, implicált is common to denote someone who is under suspicion or has ties to a particular incident, without claiming a determination of guilt. It can carry a negative or neutral tone depending on context—closely linked to the idea of being named or connected to a matter under scrutiny. Distinctions exist with synonyms such as bevont (involved) or érintett (touched or affected); implicált emphasizes a causal or associative link to the matter.

Etymology: borrowed into Hungarian from the verb implicál, itself derived from Latin implicare via Romance languages, with the sense of entanglement or tying together a set of facts.

Examples: "Az ügyben több implicált személyt hallgattak ki." "A jelentés szerint több implicált vállalat is érintett."
