Silent scandal: Olševskis adviser, who bought four voters for a bottle of vodka, left the Seimas

A. Ancevič, who has worked at Seimas for the last four years, has already left Č. Olševskis’s advisory post was replaced by Zbignev Jedinskis, a former MP who was not elected to the Seimas.

A. Ancevič was tried on Friday for negligence (traffic accident) (the sentence has disappeared and is therefore considered illegal under the law).

Ms Ancevič, who was prosecuted both during the pre-trial investigation and during the trial, pleaded guilty to the charges against her, but found herself worthy of the trust of the court and requested that the criminal case be terminated in her against and that she was released on bail. The woman said that the mother living in the Vilnius district is committed to guaranteeing it. This confirmed this.

Nikolajus Kozliakas, the prosecutor of the Vilnius Regional Prosecutor’s Office, who was leading the pre-trial investigation at the time and supported the state prosecutor’s office, believes that justice would not be achieved if the defendant who violated the law was acquitted.

According to the data of the case, it was established that A. Ancevič arrived at the town of Skaisteriai near the Mickūnai Elderhood on October 11 last year, around 12 noon, during the first round of the Seimas elections and met with four men. During the interview, the woman asked them to go to the electoral commission of the Medininkai constituency and vote for LLRA-KŠS in the multi-member constituency and for Č. Olshevsky.

C. Olevevski’s adviser, who worked at the Seimas but was on maternity leave at the time, promised to take the men to the electoral commission and, after voting, take them home and pay for a half-liter bottle of vodka. As one of the men did not have a passport with him, the woman took her home and then to Mickūnai.

However, A. Ancevič did not go to the electoral commission: he let the men get out of the car about 500 meters away, went to the city grocery store and bought a half-liter bottle of egetine and 6.95 euros for beer for 1.05 euros.

The Seimas deputy advisor had intended to deliver these drinks to bribed voters, but these suspicions were sparked by the Social Democrat Jolanta Šimanska, who worked in the electoral commission, who informed the police about the allegedly bribed voters, and A. Ancevič stopped the car with a colleague. By the way, A. Ancevič was also an observer of this electoral commission.

On the same day, a member of the LLRA-KŠS was questioned by police officers and, when released after interrogation, her spouse approached a resident of Skaisteriai village and asked the bribed voters to pay a reward: half a liter of vodka and “bambali” beer. This is what he did.

Voters who voted for the Poles interviewed during the pre-trial investigation confirmed that they cast their vote because they had been promised a reward. They also recognized the woman who bribed them.

This story would have ended so quietly, because the officials who carried out the pre-trial investigation, A. Ancevič, proposed to end the criminal proceedings with a criminal order, as she agrees with the accusations, admits guilt, repents, the court evaluates the data collected during the investigation. The woman brought to justice did not object, the Vilnius Regional District Court had already adopted a criminal order at the end of November, for which A. Ancevič was sentenced to a fine.

But before the order took effect, the woman requested a judicial hearing and that the criminal proceedings against her be suspended, absolving her of criminal responsibility on bail.

A. Ancevič said in court on Friday that she changed her mind only because she recently learned that she would have to leave her job at Egliškės St. At the Jonas Bosko Gymnasium, where she also worked as a chemistry teacher (the woman is currently on sick leave by maternity).

“I was fired from the Seimas and then I discovered that after receiving the sentence I could not work in the school either; the Education Law stipulates that a sentenced person cannot work in the school,” explained A. Ancevič.

He admitted that he had bribed four men on the day of the first round of the Seimas elections.

“I am very sorry to have committed this crime, it was a reckless and unplanned act, everything happened spontaneously,” said the defendant. – Yes, I committed a crime, but I’m very sorry. I know that the court not only punishes people, but also puts them on the path of morality, so I promise that I will not commit any more crimes. “

It was seconded by lawyer Pavel Borkovskis, who believes that there are all the reasons provided by law to exempt the accused from liability under the guarantee of his mother.

“This life lesson suggests that she will no longer violate the law,” the former judge said.

Prosecutor N. Kozliakas, who supported the state prosecution at the time, has a different opinion: that it would be wrong if A. Ancevič avoids criminal responsibility in this way.

“Given the personality and education of the person, he could not help but realize that he could lose his job and face other legal restrictions in the future,” suggested the prosecutor, taking into account the general grounds for conviction, the seriousness of the crime, the nature of crime, form of crime and motives. and goals, and A. Ancevič named 120 MGL – 6 thousand. Eur good.

As the criminal process was carried out in an abbreviated way, the prosecutor proposed to reduce this penalty by one third.

On which side will have the support of the judge who examined the criminal case T. Volkovskis, will be clarified in a month.

This is not the first time that A. Ancevič has been embroiled in scandals: almost 4 years ago, the media announced that A. Ancevič, who was the director of the Steponas Batoras Gymnasium in Lavoriškės, Vilnius district at the time, he was forced to resign due to a scandal.

The Ministry of Education and Science then established that A. Ancevič had entered or changed student grades 24 times in the newspaper. A. Ancevič, who left the gym, immediately got a job with Č. Olševskis’s advisor at Seimas.
