This week, after 3 more arrests in a riot case, the circle of suspects has expanded to 29 people. The prosecution tried to arrest one of the suspects for three months, but the court allowed it to be done for a much shorter period of three weeks.

The Šiauliai arrested on Thursday immediately after the riots became a real star on social media. The widespread video captures how, before the riots broke out, he was one of the first to throw a couple of stones at the officers.

“How provocateurs work” was the title of the album. The protesters themselves began to share it widely, explaining that it was proof that the riots had been sparked by hired provocateurs and that they had tried to find out for themselves.

It wasn’t long before the troublemaker showed up: On August 12, he appeared live on Antanas Kandroto-Celofan.

Here, the man explained that his brother, who lived in England, had been vaccinated against COVID-19 and soon died, which was what provoked his anger and prompted him to participate in the rally.

During the live broadcast, the man not only confessed to throwing stones at officers, but he called 112 and turned himself in to police.

“We found an ad on the Internet indicating that you are interested in people whose photos were made public at a rally in Vilnius,” the man told the official by phone.

The official replied that he should provide all the information by email.

“And look, I’m looking so accidentally and I realized what to do for me now,” the rioters asked if they could inform the commissariat immediately.

The police officer explained to him once again that he still had to send the information and that the investigators would contact him when they could.

As we now know, investigators not only contacted him, but also detained him, suspected a riot, and arrested him.

He became the 10th suspect in a riot control case destined for arrest. Milder preventive measures for others.
