Because of its far-right political activity, the People's Court sentenced him to five years' imprisonment and total confiscation in 1948. His punishment was later reduced to two years, released in April 1950. He lived in complete retirement in his last years.) - https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=hu&u=http://hdke.hu/tudastar/enciklopedia/kovacs-alajos&prev=search
