Judge Raimundas Mikšta announced that Titas S., who had not been tried before and was currently working under a patent, would have to pay a fine of 900 euros on behalf of the State Tax Inspectorate. It is true that he faced a much higher penalty, but the young man pleaded guilty to the charges against him, said he felt sorry for the crime and the court reduced the fine of 1,350 euros by a third.
“The conduct of the accused – by not providing the recruiting and recruiting service with the documents and data required in the summons, by not appearing before the recruitment – shows that he was aware of the illegality, danger, understood and knew that being a recruit and having to present the documents and data required for the Military Service and the Recruitment Service of the Lithuanian Armed Forces and being summoned to enter the Military Service and the Recruitment Service, avoided and did not fulfill such duties, that is, acted directly from intentionally ”, the judge declared in the criminal order.

He subsequently received the summons in person by mail and was subject to administrative liability for failure to perform his duties twice during the year of the summons.
“Knowing that they had to go to Military Service and Military Service and provide the necessary documents and data, they deliberately did not carry out and with such actions avoided being called up for compulsory military service,” prosecutor Vilija Šalčiuvienė stated in the indictment.
Titus S., who appeared in court, admitted the charges against him, but made no secret that the decision to avoid military service was made after considering the situation in the family.
“They told me that they called me to serve in the Lithuanian army, after reviewing the lists posted on the Internet,” said a Kaunas resident. – Following instructions, I went to the Military Service and Endowment Unit, handed over the necessary documents to the officers and then received a referral to the Military Medical Service for a medical examination. After that, I spoke with my family about this situation at home; my mother and sister said that if I left to serve in the military for a few months, my family’s life would deteriorate significantly in monetary terms. I decided not to fulfill my civic duty and did not go to the Military Medical Service for a medical check-up. “
The man said that he was soon administratively fined for this: he was ordered to pay 15 euros to the account of the State Tax Inspection.
“I paid the fine, but I still did not follow the instructions and did not go to the medical check-up as they told me,” said Titus S. and again they ordered me to go to the medical check-up. This time they fined me € 100. I also paid this fine, but did nothing else. “
The young man admitted to avoiding being called up for permanent mandatory initial military service and explained that he is very sorry for having acted improperly: “I have no justification for my actions.”
Delphi recalls that the army announced the 2021 lists of recruits, which include about 38 thousand. 18-23 young people. It is planned to call 3,828 recruits to serve in various units of the Lithuanian Armed Forces.
