The Seimas’s Chancellery has issued a statement detailing the procedural limitations that would accompany a potential penalty for a member of parliament suspected of bribery. According to the Chancellery’s response, any suitable penalty would necessitate the parliamentarian wearing a mask. Furthermore, due to technical protocols, the individual would be barred from participating in closed sessions dedicated to discussing classified information.
These restricted gatherings are held in specialized rooms that prohibit the presence of any electronic devices. Regarding the individual’s access credentials, the parliamentarian currently holds a permit authorizing work with sensitive, classified materials. However, the Chancellery emphasized that it possesses no current data that would justify revoking this existing permit.
The institution specifically noted that it has not received any supporting documents from state agencies that provide specific evidence warranting the withdrawal of the permit to work with, or access, classified information marked with the highest secrecy level, “Completely secret.”
The statement clarifies that the inability to attend certain high-level discussions is linked to security protocols, not necessarily a loss of standing. The Chancellery confirmed that the member had received the mask as part of the procedural requirements. The department stressed that the decision to revoke access requires concrete documentation, confirming that simply being under investigation is not sufficient grounds for stripping the clearance.
