This decision follows an incident in January where he insulted and then poured coffee over a judge at the Budapest Metropolitan Court, who was presiding over his father's case. The prosecution has appealed for harsher penalties, while the defendant and his defense have acknowledged the decision, rendering it not final.

The motive behind the attack, according to the prosecution, was to initiate bias proceedings against the presiding judge at the Budapest Metropolitan Court. Peter Póta, the judge in question, was handling the 1998 murder case of János Fenyő, in which Tamás Gyárfás, a former business rival of Fenyő, and Tamás Portik, accused of organizing the assassination, were involved. The incident occurred just as the trial was moving to closing arguments, with Portik's son confronting Judge Póta before a hearing, bombarding him with questions. When informed by Judge Póta that he couldn't respond, the young man became increasingly agitated and proceeded to douse the judge with a glass of coffee.

Following the incident, younger Portik was swiftly detained by police officers, and Judge Póta publicly stated what had happened, emphasizing his impartiality in the case countering previous claims of bias by Tamás Portik Sr.

The incident, garnering significant public interest due to the high-profile nature of the Fenyő murder case, was witnessed by many, including a journalist who physically defended the judge and restrained the attacker. The court heard from six eyewitnesses, including the journalist and Judge Póta, who provided detailed accounts of the attack.

Tamás Portik Jr. defended himself by claiming the coffee spill was accidental, caused by someone pushing him during the scuffle. His defense attorney, István Szikinger, supported this claim, a point with which the PKKB agreed. Judge Ádám László of the PKKB highlighted the absence of conclusive evidence that the defendant had used offensive language towards Judge Póta.

The court considered attacking an official person a serious offense, punishable by one to five years in prison. However, it found mitigating factors in Portik Jr.'s case, noting his stable life in Switzerland, his role as a caregiver to two small children, and his lack of a criminal record. The court viewed the nature of the high-profile case as an aggravating circumstance.

Following the appeal filed by the prosecution demanding a more severe penalty, the verdict remains non-final. The court has released Tamás Portik Jr. from custody, allowing him to leave the courtroom freely.
