After the scandalous red deer hunt – moderate but painful cutting shots: fine, confiscation, insurance

The Department of Environmental Protection reported the arrest of four men in Ukmergė district on January 19.

Laimonas Judickas, a lawyer for the Triniti Jurex law firm, and Edvardas Balčiūnas, a Ukmergė district police, were reportedly captured by the officers who carried out the raid on January 11.

The other two people in the car are Aleksas Gečiauskas and Giedrius Aniūnas, members of the Ukmergė District Hunting Club L Clubnas. The Ukmergė Chamber of the Vilnius Regional District Court examined the latter case separately, as this member of Lėnas was the only one of the detainees armed and admitted to having fired the two fatal shots.

The court found G. Aniūnas guilty of both illegal hunting of red deer and illegal transport of illegally hunted beasts.

Taking into account the repentance of the person subjected to administrative responsibility and other extenuating circumstances, the judge who examined the case, Eglė Venckienė, imposed minimal sanctions, but did not make exceptional concessions.

First of all, G.Aniūnas is obliged to pay a fine of 800 euros. Fines ranging from € 800 to € 1,800 are imposed for each individual violation, but the final penalty is based on the principle that a higher amount includes a smaller amount. In this case, the arithmetic is quite simple: one of the two fines of 800 euros remains. Both the rifle and the optical sight of this weapon were also confiscated by court order.

Furthermore, such an offended and punished hunter should be banned from hunting for one to five years. The court prohibited G. Anniūnas from hunting for one year.

The last obligation for this hunter to pay the balance of the damage caused to nature within the period set by the court is 1,134.7 euros.

As is known, the damage caused to the environment by illegal hunting of red deer amounts to 6,143.7 euros, but G. Anniūnas was quick to pay most of this amount (5,000 euros) before the start of the case in court. .

15 minutes The MAX hearing also revealed how two hunters from Lėno met in the same company as a Vilnius lawyer and an Ukmergė policeman, why it is tried to say that these latter men did not participate formally or actually in the hunt, who drove the luxurious Toyota Land. Cruiser SUV. And a plan to hunt down friends was also made public: how they would have dealt with an illegally hunted deer if environmentalists hadn’t caught the crew on the way to the so-called beast.
