How 15 minutes According to the Prime Minister’s advisor, Tomas Beržinskas, officials were awarded for merits in ensuring the safety of the individual, society and the state.

According to the advisor, the prizes are awarded by the IAS and in accordance with the Law on Arms and Ammunition Control (which defines who can grant weapons and for what – aut).

If the awards are given by the IAS, does that mean that VAT director R. Mockevičius nominated himself with a weapon?

How 15 minutes Kęstutis Blužas, head of the Service Administration Council, replied that the nomination was signed by R. Mockevičius only for the award of five officials with nominal weapons, and they were selected and presented to the Director of IAS by the VAT Promotion and Recognition Commission , which evaluates the course, merits, etc.

“The Director of the IAS does not write or give to any institution about its promotion or award. The IAS Promotion and Awards Commission does not decide on the promotion or award of the IAS Director “, the responses indicate 15 minutes.

Therefore, it is highly probable that the nominal pistol was intended for R. Mockevičius on the initiative of Prime Minister S. Skvernelis. Is it just because you are a long time employee of the system?

R. Mockevičius asked to solve the asphalt problem more quickly

The name of R. Mockevičius was heard in the Upės street scandal, inhabited by S. Skvernelis, whose section was paved with money allocated by the Government to the Vilnius district.

The Vilnius district municipality itself had indicated that it had been decided to pave the street and because it had been requested by an institution headed by R. Mockevičius, which was still called the Administrative Security Department (VAD).

Investigation material published by the Chief Ethics Commission (COEC), which terminated the investigation on Upės Street in the summer, states that R. Mockevičius indicated to the Commission that since 2016 he has requested this street from SAD on three occasions . In 2016, the department only asked to maintain the street, to clean and spread properly.

However, in June 2019, the department already explained that the problems caused by the pavement of the streets make it difficult for the department to adequately accompany the protected person. VAD complained that stones damage car bodies, windows and headlights, and holes damage suspensions.

It can be seen from the COEC material that the last request was drawn up by SAD just before the money was allocated for the paving of this street.

“October 22 The Director of the Department of Security Management (R. Mockevičius – author) presented a letter (…) to the Mayor of the Vilnius District Municipality, in which he indicated that the Department had not been responded to on the decision taken by the municipality on street management, indicating that “no works are being carried out on the streets.” In this letter, the head of the department asks the municipalities to resolve the issue of street reconstruction and paving as soon as possible, ”he says the material collected by the COEC.

A coaching career would have ended in two years

Upės Street was paved at the end of last year, and in May this year the Seimas passed a law submitted to the Parliament of the Government of S. Skvernelis, according to which the SAD, which has been under the Ministry of the Interior since July, was transformed into a Government dependent service.

15 minutes has already written that in 2015 as Minister of the Interior S. Skvernelis was determined to resign even if this service is separated from the general internal affairs system.

Following the transformation of the SAD into service, the Government approved R. Mockevičius as its director for another five years.

R. Mockevičius has been in charge of the institution that protects heads of state since 2013, and in December 2017 he began his second term.

This means that his career at this institution would have ended at the end of 2022 because a person in the SAD could not lead for more than two terms.

After the reorganization of the department in service, the same provision applies to the director – no more than two terms, but in the case of R. Mockevičius the terms are recalculated.

The agent was mentioned in a statement to the police.

VAT representative 15 minutes He stated that he could not answer the question whether all the officers who were awarded the nominal weapon of S. Skvernel were guarding or guarding the Prime Minister.

“All the officials you mentioned are involved in the performance of security functions for protected persons and objects. We will not detail what specific contribution of an official, to what extent and in what security of a protected person, because this is confidential information and it is not disclosed, ”said K. Blužas.

However 15 minutes To his knowledge, one of the award-winning officers, S. Skvernel, has been referred to in a statement he wrote to police in June asking them to identify who left an offensive note on the street where he lives this summer.

On June 11 this year, the capital’s police announced that insults had been left on Upės Street that insulted the prime minister and that the person who left them was captured at night.

On the same day, it became clear that the note had been left by Gediminas Vaitkevičius, an advisor to President Dalia Grybauskaitė and former Transport Minister Rokas Masiulis, who later received complaints of defamation and violation of public order.

A statement issued by S. Skvernelis to the Vilnius Police Chief Commissariat, published in a brochure and still available to all, claims that he noticed the offensive sign “Skvernelis (arrow sign) 1 km from the thief’s house” while riding a bicycle the night of June 10 at 8 pm 30 minutes.

“Since I live on this street, I am convinced that this inscription was intended to publicly defame and humiliate me as a person and as a politician. This insult offended me and my family, it caused a feeling of insecurity, ”he wrote in a statement.

S. Skvernelis noted that at the time he noticed the note, he was accompanied by two agents from the Department of Management Security at the time.

One of them received a nominal weapon from S. Skvernelis.

According to the police, G.Vaitkevičius, who described the asphalt, was detained after midnight, approximately the first hour of the night. According to the police, the security guards detained him and handed him over to the police.

Could award-winning security guard S.Svvernelis have been an officer who detained G.Vaitkevičius?

In 15 minutes When asked whether the award and the fact that S.Svvernelis names the guard as a witness in his statement, T. Beržinskas, the Prime Minister’s adviser, answered the question: “If I have understood correctly, the information mentioned in his question is the data from the pretrial investigation. May I ask who provided you with this data and if you have permission from the investigating attorney to dispose of it, possibly including disclosure? “

If this official could have been the one who detained G.Vaitkevičius was not issued by the VAT representative either: “The working hours (working hours) of the officials and the performance of their work functions are related to the confidential information of the service and the protection of personal data and therefore are not made public. This type of information will be delivered to the authorities that carry out the administrative offenses or the pre-trial investigation. “
