🤫 Espionage

A significant international investigation has revealed a Russian GRU operation on Lithuanian soil, specifically in Šiaiauliai, orchestrated by a Cuban salsa dancer. This development directly implicates Russian terrorism within the European Union and Lithuania, escalating national security concerns. The Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski also stated that Russian terrorism has already infiltrated the EU, echoing a heightened regional security alert. Domestically, law enforcement has taken action against the founders of 'Bankeras', announcing charges related to the alleged misappropriation of 45 million euros in assets. Additionally, political scrutiny is mounting as it's reported that Matjošaitytė attempted to conceal consultations provided to the political party 'Nemuno aušrai' and sought to have her metadata deleted. In the ongoing M. Sadauskas murder case, the prosecution is advocating for the suspects to remain in custody, with new details about revised accusations emerging. Economically, Gediminas Šimkus, Chairman of the Board of the Bank of Lithuania, expressed concern over persistent high inflation and its potential impact on future interest rate hikes, identifying energy prices as a primary driver. Discussions also continue on a proposed, yet deemed costly and ineffective, package of measures to stimulate birth rates. In a positive development for the media landscape, 15min.lt has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the most read portal in Lithuania.
