The Media Council received several notifications concerning the series entitled “Sisi” broadcast on RTL Klub on 18 April. The notifiers complained that the programme, which was broadcast from 18:50 with an age rating not recommended for audiences under the age of 12, contained several scenes depicting sexuality.

The official inspection found that the programme could only have been broadcast after 9 pm, with an age rating not recommended for audiences under the age of 16.

In view of the repeated violation of the rules by the media service provider of RTL Klub channel, the Media Council imposed a fine of HUF 5 million and ordered the senior executive of M-RTL Zrt. to pay a fine of HUF 50 thousand.
