According to Elena Martinonienė, a representative from the General Prosecutor’s Office Communication Department, a pre-trial investigation is currently underway. This inquiry addresses potential violations related to internationally prohibited conduct concerning individuals, as stipulated by the Criminal Code. Ms.
Martinonienė provided an update on the procedural steps taken by the prosecutor’s office. She noted that international legal assistance requests have been dispatched to several nations, including the USA, Poland, and Romania. However, she reported that the investigation has not yet received significant data from these international sources.
Furthermore, the prosecutor representative confirmed that, as of this report, no formal allegations have been filed within the scope of this pre-trial inquiry. The scope of the investigation includes examining the circumstances surrounding the alleged CIA facility in Lithuania. In connection with this matter, the U.S.
Department of Justice was contacted. Ms. Martinonienė emphasized that because Lithuania is a member of the European Union, the entire investigative process is being conducted in strict adherence to European Union legislation.
This procedural oversight confirms the legal framework governing the inquiry. The continuous nature of the investigation highlights the cooperation required between national legal bodies and international partners. The office remains engaged in gathering necessary evidence while operating within the established legal parameters of EU law.
