The Commission has confirmed that the participation of certain municipal leaders in the mentioned games was financed using their personal funds. According to representatives from the VTEK, the Commission has not received any data indicating that municipal leaders utilized funds belonging to the municipality, the associated basketball club, or any other private individuals. This statement follows an appeal lodged with the VTEK.
As reported by ELTA, opposition council member Alexander Nemunaić directed his appeal to the VTEK in late May. Through a social media platform, Nemunaić requested that the VTEK evaluate the participation of V. Benkunskas and A.
Buzinas, specifically concerning their seating arrangement in the first row during the final games of the FIBA Champions League tournament, which featured the Vilnius “Rytas” basketball team. The VTEK’s initial findings address the financial aspect of the event, clarifying the source of funding for the attending officials. The Commission’s review focused on confirming that the expenses related to the leaders’ presence were covered personally.
The lack of supporting data regarding misappropriated funds from municipal or club sources forms a key part of the Commission’s current assessment. The ongoing evaluation by the VTEK remains focused on the procedural and financial compliance surrounding the athletes’ involvement in the high-profile tournament.
