During a session of the Seimas, an initiative was put to a vote, receiving support from 61 members, while 21 members voted against and 25 abstained. The project garnered additional backing from members of the “Aušrinė” group, alongside representatives from the Democratic, Liberal, and Conservative factions. The parliamentary investigation stemming from this initiative is designed to address 19 specific questions.
A primary focus of the inquiry is establishing political accountability concerning the history of leaked data. Furthermore, the investigation seeks to determine if there were instances of negligence involving responsible persons or institutions. It also aims to assess whether potential threats to national security—arising from the possible transfer or use of the data by foreign countries, their intelligence services, or other agencies—were adequately evaluated.
In related procedural developments, the General Prosecutor’s Office recently received an account from the Registrars’ Center totaling 100,000 euros. This transaction is noted as unprecedented since mid-April. The General Prosecutor’s Office has been actively investigating the circumstances involving the Registrars’ Center, which may potentially involve the Office itself, since that timeframe.
These developments provide context to the broader concerns raised by the Seimas regarding the security and handling of sensitive national data.
