feltételezettek

Feltételezettek is a Hungarian term used to refer to people or entities who are alleged or presumed to have a particular role or involvement, usually in legal, investigative, or journalistic contexts. It is the plural form of feltételezett, an adjective meaning "alleged" or "supposed."

In journalism and law, feltételezettek denote individuals against whom claims have been made but that have not yet been proven in court. The term signals an unverified status and avoids asserting guilt. It is distinct from gyanúsított (suspect) and vádlott (defendant), which imply formal legal findings or charges. The use of feltételezettek emphasizes that allegations remain to be substantiated.

Etymology and nuance: The word derives from the verb feltételez, meaning to suppose or assume; the participle feltételezett means "supposed" or "alleged." The plural feltételezettek describes the group of such individuals. In practice, the term often carries a cautious or neutral connotation in reporting or analysis, reflecting that the information is unproven.

Usage and equivalents: In English, feltételezettek are typically translated as "the alleged" or "the supposed" individuals. Other Hungarian terms include állítólagos and gyanúsított; however, állítólagos is more general, and gyanúsított carries a stronger legal implication. The phrase "a feltételezettek köre" refers to the circle of those alleged to be involved.

See also: feltételezés, feltételezni. The term is context-dependent and its precision depends on the source’s legal status and the verification of claims.
