The General Prosecutor’s Office has stated that the release of specific details pertaining to the pre-trial investigation is currently restricted. According to Elena Martinonienė, head of the Communications Department, such information originates from the proceedings conducted under Article 177 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The office indicated that disclosing this material at this time could potentially jeopardize the successful conclusion of the ongoing investigation.
Furthermore, the Prosecutor’s Office emphasized its procedural boundaries, clarifying that it does not participate in public polemics. They stated that they will refrain from commenting on the opinions, assessments, or positions expressed by any participants involved in the proceedings. The office stressed that the judicial review of prosecutorial actions is confined to the courtroom.
Specifically, the legality and overall reasonableness of decisions made by prosecutors, including instances where a coercive measure is sought from the court, are matters that must be evaluated by the judiciary itself. This statement was issued in the context of an investigation concerning potential corruption within the agricultural sector, which involved the application of a coercive measure against a member of parliament. The Prosecutor’s Office maintained that its role is procedural, ensuring that all investigative steps are legally sound, while reserving commentary on the merits of the case for the appropriate judicial forum.
