This was announced by the Vilnius Regional Court, which rejected the complaint by D. Redikas’s lawyer regarding the judgment of the district court, which ordered the plaintiff convicted of robbery to pay A. Valentaitė 88,720 euros for property damage before the New Year. .
At that time, D. Redikas asked the court to allow A. Valentaitė to pay the damages until June 22 of the following year, when the trial period expires. If the court had accepted such a request from the convicted person and D. Redik had not compensated the damage caused by this period, he could no longer be imprisoned.
“The amount of unpaid damage to the victim is a large sum of money and the compensation period is too short; The financial situation of the convicted person is not good at this time, in addition, he has other financial obligations, even with the institutions authorized by the state, ”said Viktoras Gecas, attorney representing the basketball player.
As Judge Aušra Bielsk who, who examined D. Redikas’ complaint, pointed out, a person sentenced to parole “will strictly comply, without reproach or questionable explanations, of the obligations imposed on him”.
“The postponement of the sentence is an exceptional institute of criminal law, which is applied when a court entrusts to a convicted person the probability that he will not commit new crimes, as well as other infractions of the law, he will act in a lawful manner”, said the judge . – The postponement of the sentence is the confidence of the public in the judgment of the convicted person. The convicted person must justify this public trust without any violation of conduct. “
However, according to the court, D. Redikas did not follow the instructions given to him: to compensate the material and non-material damage caused to the victim A. Valentaitė within two years. The deadline for the convict to pay the money expired on June 22, so the Probation Service, which was responsible for supervising Mr. Redik during the postponement of his sentence, asked the court to send the convict to serve the sentence. custodial sentence imposed on him.

When this request was considered at the Vilnius City District Court, D. Redikas, who had recently arrived from France, where he has been living, compensated A. Valentaitė for moral damages: he paid 1,5 thousand. EUR. This is the first money the convict has paid in more than two years. It is true that he had previously promised the Probation Service 300 euros a month, but he did not comply with this obligation, he justified the financial difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, as the judge of the Vilnius Regional Court A. Bielskė pointed out, the explanations of the convicted D. Redikas as to why he did not adequately perform the judicial functions and even committed violations of the conditions established by probation are declaratory and do not justify the violations.
“It should be noted that the convicted person himself must ensure that the obligations imposed on him are carried out in an impeccable manner and not only out of fear that the execution of the sentence will be revoked, but also because of the desire to correct and live in accordance with the norms of behavior accepted in society “, emphasized the judge. – The court, believing that the convict could be remedied, sentenced him to a suspended sentence, gave the convict the opportunity to assess the possible consequences of his misconduct, but it was clear that the convict not only breached his obligations but also did not comply their own promises. (300 euros per victim per month) “.
According to the judge, the allegations of the lawyer representing D. Redik that the convicted person cannot carry out his activities as a professional basketball player in the world due to the consequences of the threat of spread of COVID-19, from which he could obtain sufficient funds to pay the victim, they should also be rejected as unfounded.
In 2018, the sentence that orders the convicted person to compensate the damage caused to the victim came into force. “On June 22, this is significantly earlier than the global threat of a pandemic, but according to the court, the convict showed no effort to at least begin to fulfill the court’s obligation to inform the victim, did not take any actual measure “, did not provide the court with any information about the property managed in its own name, its intention to go beyond professional basketball activities, which would probably allow it to comply with the obligation imposed by the court in a timely manner. .
On the other hand, the court noted that Mr. Redik currently “shows sufficient willingness to fulfill the court’s obligations and to cooperate with the Probation Service, so that the objectives of the sentence can still be achieved in this case without lift the sentence for Mr. Redik, provided that he the obligation to fully compensate the victim for material damage by 2021. on January 1 “.
The court had no grounds to extend this term, as requested by D. Redikas: “Otherwise, the rights of victim A. Valentaitė would be significantly violated.”
Delphi He recalls that Ms. Redikas stole several jewelry from Ms. Valentaitė, which she had not only bought abroad, but had also received gifts on several occasions. In addition, she also stole the stylist’s money and a personal computer. It is true that the basketball player later bought a new computer for his ex-girlfriend, but probably for the money he received when he added his jewelry to the pawn shop.
A. Valentaitė noted that the value of the items stolen from her was 146 thousand. 899 Eur. Another 15 thousand. The euro victim evaluated the spiritual experiences she had experienced, but the court significantly reduced this amount.
“Watches, earrings, necklaces and rings were stolen, up to 35 thousand euros per game,” said the prosecutor who supports the prosecution in the criminal case.
Lavish jewelry of A. Valentaitė was found not only in pawnshops, but also in private persons, and D. Redikas, a suspect, spent the money received on games of chance.
“He also said that it was necessary for certain expenses – the trip,” the prosecutor said.
At that time, A. Valentaitė did not hide that this story was especially painful for her; Even after noticing the first robberies of D. Redikas, she was in no rush to apply to law enforcement and still gave her a chance to make amends.
But unnecessarily, D. Redikas, taking advantage of the credibility of the mannequin, was able to commit even more robberies, seizing extremely valuable items.
It’s not as sacred as it seems
For D. Redikas, inconveniences are commonplace. In 2013 a man on the basketball court faced another basketball player, then he was removed from the capital team, and in 2015. In the spring of 2006, all of Lithuania was surprised by the false story created by D. Redikas: the athlete who was playing in Latvia at the time told the team leaders that he had a couple of days to leave because his father had died.
The lie quickly came to light: the leaders of the basketball team sent their representatives to the funeral with a wreath, but D. Redikas’s father was greeted at home. And at that time, an advertisement with pity for the loss was already ordered in a newspaper. As a result of this story, D. Redik’s father survived and then disappeared; after a search that lasted several months, they found him suicidal in the forest.
The name of D. Redik has also been changed in another story: the administration of the Kempinski luxury hotel in the capital had accused the basketball player of using accommodation services and not paying more than a thousand euros for them.
Mr. Redik is also well known for fast track credit companies whose services he has used many times but has not been able to get his money back on time.
