The STT confirmed to the portal Lrytas that the Special Investigations Department initiated an inquiry on June 18, 2026. The investigation, conducted under Article 228 of the Criminal Code, First Part, aims to verify specific circumstances and information pertaining to the sale of immovable property designated for storage purposes in Palanga. According to the officials at the STT, no suspicions have been raised as of the time of the investigation’s launch.
The inquiry was prompted by outreach from several political figures. Specifically, Parliamentarian L. Šedvydis and Palanga city council member, Ministerial Secretary S.
Tučkė, contacted relevant authorities in late May. These individuals directed their inquiries to the officials, the General Prosecutor’s Office, and the Seimas Anti-Corruption Commission, requesting a formal investigation into the project in Palanga. The STT’s official communication detailed the scope of the review, confirming that the department is examining details related to the property transaction.
The initiation of this formal process underscores the attention given to the legality of the storage property sales. The department’s current mandate is focused on establishing facts surrounding the transfer of the assets, ensuring that all related procedures comply with current legal statutes. The ongoing work by the department seeks to provide clarity regarding the background of the Palanga development.
