Elena Martinonienė, head of the General Prosecutor’s Communications Department, confirmed details regarding an ongoing pre-trial investigation. Initially launched in April, the investigation was focused on several serious allegations concerning digital security and misuse of information systems. The initial scope of the inquiry encompassed three primary areas of misconduct: the unlawful acquisition and use of electronic data, unauthorized access to an information system, and the unlawful disposal of critical assets, including devices, software, passwords, codes, and other sensitive data.
According to Martinonienė, the investigation’s mandate has since expanded. Commencing on Monday, the pre-trial proceedings now incorporate an additional criminal charge under Article 229 of the Criminal Code, which pertains to failure to perform official duties. This addition suggests that the matter of theft is being framed not merely as a direct act of theft, but as an issue rooted in institutional negligence.
The inclusion of the failure to perform duties charge raises questions regarding why established operational practices may have been ignored. The prosecutor’s office is examining the totality of the circumstances to determine liability. The overall investigation, therefore, continues to scrutinize multiple facets of the incident.
It remains focused on establishing accountability for the handling of sensitive data, whether the misconduct involved direct unlawful actions or systemic failures in adherence to established protocols. The prosecutor’s department continues to manage the inquiry to address both the technical breaches and the corresponding dereliction of duty.
