“Responsibilities, in the end, at least once,” G. Landsbergis told reporters in the Seimas on Thursday, noting that the information that appeared in the media about war-use goods that may have been transported to Russia must first be approved by the authorities.
“The Customs Department has to answer those questions. If this is the case (it is true – ELTA), the laws in force in Lithuania provide for responsibility for the circumvention of sanctions,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
ELTA reminds that the Klaipėda District Prosecutor’s Office commissioned the officers of the territorial department of the Customs Criminal Service to conduct an investigation into the possible violation of international sanctions by the “Vičiūnai” group company “Plungės kooperatinė prekyba”.
On Tuesday, the news portal lrt.lt published an investigation that revealed that “Plungės kooperatinė prekyba” belonging to the “Vičiūnai” group transported goods included in the sanctions to Sovetska at least 11 times.
It is reported that products and technologies classified as high-priority battlefield goods were transported from Lithuania to Kaliningrad.
“Vičiūnai” admitted that it transported such goods to Russia, but claims that it did not know about the sanctions.
