Former lover of Asta Valentaitė – inconvenience due to shameful sins of the past

On Wednesday, the Vilnius City District Court judge Ramūnas Keidūnas began to examine the submission of the Probation Service, which proposes to D. Redikas to change the sentence previously imposed by a judicial sentence and send the convict to serve a real custodial sentence.

D. Redik, who is currently competing in France’s third basketball league until January 1. ex-girlfriend A. Valentaitė had to pay 88,720 euros in property damage, currently D. Redikas is under pressure of 84 thousand. Eur school.

The period within which the convicted person was obliged to pay the money expired on June 22 of last year, and the trial period for D. Redik expires on June 22 of this year. The issue of postponement of the sentence had already been examined by the court before, since the convicted person did not compensate the injured stylist. It is true that so far the judges have given the convicted person the opportunity to make amends, but they have warned that a person sentenced to parole “must strictly comply, without reproach and with dubious explanations, of the obligations imposed on him.

Redik was not present at a remote hearing on Wednesday and sent a letter to a judge saying there was a “bad internet connection” in France.

“My defendant currently lives and works in France, he did not have the opportunity to come because he would need self-isolation and he did not have the opportunity to join remotely, so he asked me to go to court,” said Viktor Gec. an attorney representing the basketball player.

The defendant pointed out that Mr. Redik would like to attend the court hearing, but according to the judge, although the convict stated that in France “there is a bad internet connection, but he did not even try to join the hearing.”

As Mr. Redik wanted to declare his position and the probation period expires on June 22, the court decided to hear the convicted person and postponed the hearing until the beginning of March.

Currently, D. Redikas has paid 4.8 thousand to A. Valentaitė. EUR. He had previously promised to pay the Probation Service 300 euros a month, but did not comply with this obligation: it was justified in the financial difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, as the Vilnius Regional Court pointed out, the explanations of the convicted D. Redikas as to why he improperly performed the functions of the court and even committed violations of the conditions established by probation are declaratory and do not justify the violations committed.

In 2018, the sentence that orders the convicted person to compensate for 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, nor did he take any real action 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 timely comply with the obligation imposed by the court.

The court had no reason to extend the compensation period, 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, he 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 from adding 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. Eur’s victim evaluated the spiritual experiences she had had, 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 pawn shops, but also in private persons, and D. Redikas, a suspect, spent the money received on gambling.

“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, he was in no rush to apply to the police and still gave him a chance to make amends. But unnecessarily, D. Redikas, using the reliability of the mannequin, was able to commit even more robberies, seizing especially valuable items.

For D. Redik, the inconveniences are everyday. In 2013 a man on the basketball court collided with another basketball player, then he was removed from the capital team, and in 2015. In the spring of 2006, all of Lithuania was shocked by the false story created by D. Redikas: the athlete who He was playing in Latvia at the time he told the team leaders that he had a couple of days to go because his father had died. .

The lie was quickly revealed: The leaders of the basketball team sent their representatives to the funeral with a wreath, but D. Redikas’s father received a greeting at home. And at that time, an advertisement was ordered with regret for the loss 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.
