On Monday, Algimantas Šindeikis, legal counsel for R. Jakilaičio, submitted a formal request to the Vilnius District Court seeking to question several witnesses. Šindeikis argued that the testimony of these individuals would provide a comprehensive understanding of the statements made by R.
Žemaitaitis within the scope of the ongoing case. R. Žemaitaitis, who participated in the preparatory court session, immediately objected to the motion.
He asserted that the opposing party was deliberately attempting to delay the proceedings. Žemaitaitis emphasized that the witnesses in question had no direct connection to the matter at hand. Amid the procedural dispute, V.
Janulevičius commented on Lithuania’s commitment to defending Europe, suggesting that the court should address the case in principle on that day. However, the court did not commence the in-principle hearing as anticipated. Instead, the court ruled to proceed with the interrogation of the witnesses identified by R.
Šindeikis. The decision marks a significant development in the case proceedings. Despite the objections raised by R.
Žemaitaitis, the court accepted the parameters set forth by the request. A follow-up session concerning this case has been scheduled for July 8, indicating that the legal process will continue to address the testimony and evidence presented before the court.
