The lawsuit seeks the reimbursement of approximately €11,987 from the Marijampolė City Council. The investigation, spanning from 2019 to 2023, focused on compensation payments received by Mr.
Razvickas while serving as mayor. Specifically, he received over €10,000 from the council for fuel purchases. Investigators scrutinized numerous checks issued by Mr.
Razvickas for vehicle-related expenses, including repairs, maintenance, insurance, and fuel. Discrepancies were identified in the documentation, with payments made using eleven separate payment cards despite receipts for gasoline and diesel. Evidence suggests these expenditures were associated with the use of Mr.
