15 thousand The doctor had already paid the child’s parents in good faith immediately after the disaster, without waiting for the investigation to be completed.
According to the portal, when imposing the sentence, the court pointed out that the guilt of S. Kaktis in the event was not in doubt, but it took into account his personality, data that characterizes him, the fact that there were mitigating factors in the case and not aggravating circumstances.
“Taking into account the data examined in the case, the court determined that S.Kaktis can be acquitted of criminal responsibility, because he pleaded guilty, voluntarily partially compensated the damage and agreed with the victims compensation for the remaining damage, as well as reconciled with the victims and there is reason to believe that S.Kaktys will no longer commit new criminal acts “,
The accident, which claimed the life of an eight-year-old boy, occurred in mid-November 2018 in the Mažeikiai district, on the section of the Anulynai – Tirkšliai highway near the village of Balėna.
According to the data from the pre-trial investigation, the school bus that took the children home after school stopped that day at around 2 pm to detain one of them in Balėnai.
According to the prosecution, the bus stopped with the warning lights flashing orange and visibility from the road was good.
After taking the student off the bus, he was in no rush to cross the street, waiting for the minibus to move. When a minor crossed the street, he was hit by a car from the Telšiai side, which was driven by the then Telšiai S.Kaktys Regional Hospital doctor. At that time, he was also a member of the Mažeikiai District Municipal Council, belonging to the Christian Democratic Party of the Homeland-Lithuanian Union.
During the investigation, allegations were also made against a bus driver who had a duty to accompany a child under the age of ten to the other side of the road. It was later decided to terminate the investigation against him, as he would only have been criminally responsible if it had been established that S.Kaktys had not violated traffic regulations.
The Lithuanian Center of Experts for Forensic Medicine later concluded that S.Kaktys was driving at a speed of 149 km / h in the area where he is allowed to drive at a speed of 90 km / h.
The doctor himself had provided the court with data from a specialized car service computer and the conclusion of a private accident expert that he was driving at a speed of 94 km / h at the time of the accident.
S.Kaktys, who has a medical background, was a member of the Seimas in 1996-2000, and in 1999-2000 he was Minister of Management Reform and Municipal Affairs.
S.Kaktys was tried in the so-called “Mažeikių nafta” case, which was later terminated by the court due to the statute of limitations.
In this case, Sigitas Kaktys, former Minister of Municipal Reform and Management, Rimantas Didžiokas, Minister of Transport and Communications, and Antanas Bartulis, Vice Minister of Economy, were accused of abusing their official position and exceeding their authority to sign and sign agreements with Williams International Company in 1999 the sale and transfer of that right to manage that company.
The judgment of the Telšiai District Court can be appealed.
