Currently, the bankrupt company used to trade biofuels in Šiauliai County. His boss, G. Lukšas, who has already been sentenced 11 times, heard the court’s verdict when he arrived from prison, where the prosecutor’s office is already serving a custodial sentence.

According to Asta Mickevičiūtė, the prosecutor of the Šiauliai Regional Prosecutor’s Office, who led the pre-trial investigation, the illegal activities of the former head of the company were related to the company’s fraudulent accounting to avoid taxes payable to the state.

Officers from the Šiauliai County Chief Police Commissariat of Economic Crimes Investigation, who conducted the pre-trial investigation, investigated that since early 2017, the convict has been selling peat briquettes, sawdust briquettes from wood and sawdust pellets to natural persons without issuing sales documents. In total, almost one hundred customers in the Šiauliai region were sold unaccounted for € 72,793.

According to the case file, the company’s money remained with the manager himself, when clients were not issued documents for the products purchased. Consequently, sales were not included in the accounts. G.Lukšas deposited the money received into the company account as his personal funds and then took it, i. and. legalized and appropriate. The convict admitted that he had criminalized 71,579 euros belonging to the company in this way.

The former manager paid his employees unofficially, some received their money even without being employees of the company.

Already in the course of investigating the case, a police investigator warned G. Lukšas that two of the company’s cars were arrested and that he must protect them. The convict ignored the instructions of the police and sold the cars to strangers according to the announcement, and took the money received, 22 thousand euros, for himself.

The company was declared bankrupt, so to avoid liability, it hid the accounting documents and drafted a false decision of the sole shareholder, allegedly becoming a citizen of the Russian Federation as director of the company. It was established that this woman knew nothing about the fictional changes and that she had never been to Lithuania. G. Lukšas submitted the decision to the “Registration Center” and requested that the details of the alleged head of the company be recorded.

The court awarded the bankrupt private company EUR 93,579, the State Tax Inspectorate EUR 13,704 and the State Social Security Fund EUR 3,107.
