An investigation into the Raudondvaris Estate has revealed that its former director, Snieguolė Navickienė, acquired a luxury SUV from the property at a price comfortably below its market value. The discovery follows a public denial from politician Remigijus Žemaitaitis regarding allegations of criminal activity involving the management of national broadcaster LRT, which broke the story.
Retailers and economists are now preparing the public for another economic shock as October inflation figures refuse to drop below the 6% mark. The mood is not helped by the court-ordered payment against the P. Grigo company for a land plot in Liepaja that was never paid for.
Military procurement has come under similar scrutiny after the Tender Prize Authority identified transparency violations in the army’s purchase of 'Dragon’s Teeth' fortifications. The findings arrive just as the government weighs a plan to conscript all young men into service, with an eye toward eventually including women.
