“As Father’s Day approaches, I try to take another action on my dad and the unresolved issues of January 13. The criminal proceedings of January 13, in which the sentences of some perpetrators were announced and carried out this year, is almost over.
Nowhere in the criminal process was the responsibility of the top commander, Gorbachev, identified. Lithuania, through its responsible institution, the Attorney General’s Office, refused to investigate his responsibility as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. I had already announced it before, ”wrote R. Povilaitis on Facebook.
However, according to the deceased son, there is another last possibility.
“As a citizen of the Republic of Lithuania, I can sue Gorbachev by filing a civil lawsuit against him.
In this way, the question of Gorbachev’s responsibility would be raised and therefore the mistake made would be corrected at least partially, “wrote R. Povilaitis.
According to him, such an action requires two citizens of the Republic of Lithuania.
“One is already (me), we need at least one more (one or more lawyers). I started looking for lawyers. So far, the answers are either negative or not yet available. I hope it is successful, “said R. Povilaitis.
