[ad_1]

According to the FNTT, a public official is suspected of having abused his official position in excess of his authority, which could have caused him serious harm. A preventive detention measure is a written commitment not to leave. In total, six people have already been charged in this pre-trial investigation.

The pre-trial investigation began after receiving information on suspected financial transactions from a company registered in Lithuania. The funds the company tried to eliminate were obtained after a public acquisition contract with the National Laboratory of Public Health for the sale of COVID-19 rapid tests.

The pre-trial investigation is organized and led by prosecutors from the Vilnius Regional Prosecutor’s Office.

A temporary restriction on property rights has been applied to illegally obtained funds.

In order not to jeopardize the success of the investigation, no more detailed information is currently provided on the ongoing pre-trial investigation.
