The Supreme Ethics Commission has received a report concerning the involvement of the mayor of Vilnius and the director of the administration in a recent basketball game, according to VTEK representative Virginija Aleksejūnė. Aleksejūnė confirmed that the documentation has been forwarded for review and will be presented at the Commission’s meeting, where a decision will be made regarding the initiation of a formal investigation. The matter originated from a request made by VTEK.
Specifically, A. Nemunaitis announced on Monday that VTEK sought an assessment of the participation and seating locations of V. Benkunskas and A.
Bužinskas. This assessment related to the final game of the FIBA Champions League tournament, which took place in Badalona, Spain, featuring the Vilnius “Rytas” basketball team. The submission of this report to the Commission indicates that the body is now reviewing the details surrounding the officials’ presence at the sporting event.
The Commission’s next steps, as stated by the VTEK representative, hinge on the deliberation following the presentation of this evidence. The core focus remains on determining the appropriate course of action—whether to proceed with a full investigation based on the submitted findings regarding the individuals’ participation and associated roles. This process underscores the Commission’s role in ethical oversight following high-profile public events.
