Kučinskas was arrested last week on July 15 while on vacation with his family on the other side of the Slovenian-Croatian border.
This week, it became clear that V. Kučinskas had also caught the attention of law enforcement in Lithuania, where he is suspected of fraud, foreign property waste, fraudulent property damage and criminal bankruptcy.
A report published Friday in the media quoted Kristina Kučinskienė, the businessman’s wife:
According to her, despite the restrictions of the rights that were applied to her, V. Kučinskas is doing well and hopes that this inadequate situation will end as soon as possible.
The report states that V. Kučinskas currently has lawyers with solid experience in such cases in both Lithuania and Slovenia. The goal is to release V. Kučinskas from arrest or hand him over to Lithuania.
According to lawyers, in a similar situation, other methods of criminal procedure law are tried first, which is common in a democratic world. Coercive measures against an employer are currently considered excessive from a legal point of view.
According to K. Kučinskienė, the lawyers, however, point out that in this case we are not talking about actions initiated by a democratic country, but by Russia. This state, its legal system has repeatedly used various legally unjustified and dubious methods, when excessive prosecution is used instead of civil law measures. In such cases, diplomatic capabilities are often involved to increase impact.
V. Kučinskas’ relatives who cooperate with legal professionals follow his advice to refrain from commenting on the case more broadly. His main request at this time is to respect the privacy of the family. In the last days, the most important thing for family members is to concentrate and, with the help of lawyers, do everything possible to get V. Kučinskas back home as soon as possible.
“I hope there will be more information related to the extradition case in the near future,” says K. Kučinskienė.
