At a hearing on Friday, the prosecutor supporting the Šarūnas Astrauskas state prosecutor’s office requested that the arrest be extended for another three months.
“My opinion remains the same: I do not believe that the reasons for continued pre-trial detention have disappeared,” Š. Astrauskas

According to the prosecutor, the arrest should be extended, because G. Beržinskas, while at liberty, can hide from the court and commit new crimes.
“I believe that the existence of these motives is largely determined by the criminal acts that he is accused of committing, the circumstances of his commission … These acts were carefully planned, they were not accidental,” said the prosecutor.
The official also noted that the defendant produced improvised explosive devices from materials available “both in supermarkets and online,” knew how to do it, had more prepared explosives in his home at the time of his arrest, and posted a video online alleging fail. The explosion is not the end.
According to the prosecutor, this suggests that he may continue to commit criminal offenses.
“As for the defendants’ social ties, I don’t think they are strong. I think their relationship with their parents was not resilient enough. Continuing with pretrial detention last time, the defendant even agreed to be subjected to the strictest measure. , although there were indications that his parents agreed to take care of him, “emphasized the prosecutor.
G. Beržinskas himself asked the court to order a more lenient return measure.
“Honorable Judge, I would like you to note that I confessed to the crime on the first day and cooperated with the police,” he said.
“I really don’t plan any other crime, I sincerely regret my crime,” the defendant stated.
He also said that he had been diagnosed with the disease two months ago, so he could seek better medical care if the court did not extend his detention. He did not specify the specific disease he was diagnosed with.
Aidas Mažeika, a lawyer, also asked to apply intensive supervision to the accused.
“Intensive care could be in the most severe conditions, staying at home in Jurbarkas all day. The position of the parents has not changed, it would have been supervised and brought to court hearings in Vilnius,” said A. Mažeika.
“With intensive care being at home 24 hours, I have no idea how a person could escape … and how he could commit new crimes,” he said.
The lawyer also noted that “the presence of medical personnel is symbolic in the correctional center” and that a milder preventive detention would guarantee adequate medical attention.
After hearing the arguments of both parties in the case, Judge Jurgita Mačionytė announced that the decision on the preventive detention measure would be announced on Monday.
Among other things, the date of the criminal case hearing was discussed at the hearing. Due to the attorney, prosecutor and court license, the hearing scheduled for July 22 was postponed until August 31.
The case will be heard in court under the abbreviated evidence examination procedure, since the accused fully admits his guilt.
G. Beržinskas, born in 1999, is a suspect on October 6 last year near the building in Vilnius on J. Balčikonio Street, where the international company Western Union is located, he left a homemade explosive on the wall and sprayed the inscriptions ” FK DIVISION “,” SIEGE “on the wall with black paint. and the swastika mark.
He was arrested on October 15, during a special operation in which Aro officials participated. A high explosive explosive ready for detonation and chemicals have been found and removed from the suspect’s illicit circulation from which a makeshift high explosive device can be manufactured.
The search also found a suitable homemade firearm for firing and parts of a category C weapon, as well as extremist and National Socialist literature and symbolism from far-right views.
According to the police, the suspect belongs to the Feuerkrieg Division, a group of extreme right-wing extremists.
After the court hearing, attorney A. Mažeika stated that the crime was committed due to juvenile maximalism.
“I could probably say briefly: youthful maximalism. The desire to become famous, to appear, to do something when there was no need to do it,” the lawyer told reporters.
He also pointed out the misrepresentation in the press that the building was going to explode during the day. According to the lawyer, the explosive was supposed to explode from Saturday to Sunday at night when there were no people in the office buildings.
This information was also confirmed by Prosecutor Š. Astrauskas
