“The FNTT contacted the STT last year regarding this official and provided him with relevant information. Since then, the FNTT, along with the STT and the Attorney General’s Office, has participated in the investigation,” the chief of the service at a press conference.
He also claimed that an official inspection had been initiated at the same time, but that the official suspect had not yet been removed from work until the court ruled on the preventive detention measure.
“An official inspection has begun. Not yet removed. It has not yet been removed because we are awaiting procedural decisions, ”said A. Mikulskis.
According to him, the alleged official, chief investigator N. Valatka, has been working at the service since 2003.
When asked what information had been transmitted to the STT about Mr. Valatka, Mr. Mikulski said that he could not respond because “that information is confidential.”
He also said that “until now” the official inspection had been initiated only for one official.
The head of the FNTT told reporters that the number of suspects in the service may increase.
“Everything can be, but everything must be done to prevent it from happening,” said A. Mikulskis.
On Wednesday, Vitalijus Gailius, the former head of the FNTT, the current mayor of the Joniškis district, told BNS that after his dismissal, the FNTT had renewed the corruption scheme related to the transfer of information to lawyers and orders to initiate investigations against companies.
“All the Kaunas knew where to go to get things done at FNTT: where to go to start an investigation against a competitor, why go ahead.” In my opinion, in fact, Kaunas FNTT was leading in this way, ”he said.
A. Mikulskis assures that this is an “evaluation of the politicians”, and Kaunas is not exceptional.
“He did not return (FNTT – BNS) to the 90s, 2010 or 2015. FNTT is moving forward, with the work being done on a daily basis.” … They will discover this month that this is not the case, “said the head of the FNTT.
“Here, you know, the habit is this: Kaunas, Kaunas, Kaunas. Kaunas, as a region, differs from Klaipeda, differs from Vilnius, but as a region. I would not say that it is special, it is more of a myth here,” he added.
The police are currently conducting a pre-trial investigation into trafficking, bribery, abuse and bribery, in which, in addition to FNTT official N. Valatka, charges have been brought against prosecutors Nerijus Marcinkevičius and Donatas Puzinas. and the lawyer Šarūnas Mickevičius.
The Vilnius City District Court is deciding to arrest these suspects.
In addition, three non-custodial preventive detention measures, such as a written commitment not to abandon and the seizure of documents, were already imposed on three private persons in the investigation on Wednesday.
Four other suspects remain in custody and no decisions have yet been made on pre-trial detention.
The pre-trial investigation into alleged trafficking, bribery, abuse and bribery is conducted by the Organized Crime and Corruption Investigation Department of the Office of the Attorney General and the Special Investigation Service.
