🔓 Released

The man detained after a fatal shooting on Savanorių Avenue has been released from police custody. Prosecutors appear to have found his case more favourable than initially suspected, though the investigation into the death continues. Internal politics and border security are competing for space. Some members of the ruling party are now urging the opposition to find a replacement for a government minister, while border officials report that the profile of migrants attempting to enter is shifting in both origin and method. Religious and local administrative matters remain stalled. Mufti Jakubauskas is busy denying human trafficking allegations and pledging his cooperation to law enforcement; meanwhile, the Vilnius district council has postponed its meeting on renaming streets currently dedicated to Gulbinowicz for a second time.
