August 28 A. Širinskienė appealed to the Attorney General to assess whether the data published on August 24 this year in the article of the Lithuanian Radio and Television Investigation Division “Rapid tests for 6 million: Skvernel team flinches over a scandalous purchase “is not the data from the FNTT’s pre-trial investigation.
“It just came to our attention then. In my opinion, the material from the pre-trial investigation was possibly used in the LRT investigation. Correspondence miscellaneous, the text itself contains references to who met and on what day, etc. Such things can’t really be collected without special means. Either the LRT has put them together somewhere, or it was (…) the material from the pre-trial investigation. As is well known, the material from the pre-trial investigation The trial cannot be made public and there is a risk of criminal liability for those who are obliged to keep that information. The criminal liability in this case would not be on the media, but on those who leaked even though they had to keep the information. I asked the prosecution to assess whether the material from the pre-trial investigation is not transported through the city, “he told Eltai.
According to A. Širinskienė, if the prosecution does not start the investigation, it will go to court.
“I am awaiting the response of the prosecution. If it is decided not to start, I will go to court. I think there was no other way to take the material from the pretrial investigation and make it public,” he said.
ELTA recalls that the FNTT is conducting a study on 6 million purchases of rapid coronavirus tests worth EUR. According to the FNTT, the purchase agreement was concluded due to a possible falsification of documents.
The first vice-rector of the government, Lukas Savickas, was interviewed last Friday in a study by the FNTT on the purchase of rapid coronavirus tests. He received the status of a special witness. Media also reported Wednesday that Jonas Kairys, the prime minister’s health adviser, was questioned as a special witness.
Special witness status means that a person can become a suspect.
LRT’s Research Division has previously announced that L. Savickas made the decision to start the acquisition in March.
At the time, Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis said Wednesday that he saw no reason for L. Savickas and J. Kairis to resign from their current positions.
