The Special Investigations Service (SST) reported on Monday that K. Petkevičius faces accusations of fraud, abuse of power, and forgery, according to details from a criminal case. Petkevičius served as a member of the Kaišiadorys district council from 2019 to 2023.
The allegations suggest that Petkevičius fabricated 27 activity reports belonging to council members. These reports allegedly contained inaccurate data regarding the costs associated with fuel acquisitions for the council members’ activities. The core suspicion is that through this fraudulent scheme, Petkevičius misappropriated funds totaling 2,930 euros that belonged to the Kaišiadorys district administration for personal benefit.
The investigation centers on the misuse of public resources and the falsification of official records. The SST’s findings indicate a pattern of alleged misconduct involving the submission of misleading documentation to justify expenditures. The criminal case highlights concerns over the proper oversight of funds allocated to local governance bodies.
Authorities are investigating the extent of the alleged forgery and the mechanisms used to divert the funds. The accusations pertain specifically to the documentation process within the district council, pointing to a breach of trust and fiduciary responsibility. The ongoing case remains under review by the appropriate legal authorities.
