More than 100 officers from the Financial Crime Investigation Service conducted 25 raids to arrest 12 people suspected of faking EU projects. The group is accused of causing 1.3 million euros in damages, illustrating that while Brussels provides the funds, local implementation remains an creative pursuit for some.
The budget is under fire from two sides of the same coin. Finance Minister Taurimas Valys says coalition partners are leaning on him to cut defense funding, while Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė has described the current deficit as scandalous. It is a familiar squeeze: the government is being asked to spend less by its critics and more on everything but the military by its friends.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is attempting to clarify the disappearance of several Lithuanian women in Iran. Closer to home, the economy is sending mixed signals; a quiet shift in the job market has reduced openings for certain sectors, and diesel sales have hit new lows as fuel prices remain stubbornly high.
