In a recent episode of 15min's "Apkalbėkime," former advisor to the Prime Minister, Skirmantas Malinauskas, spoke on the new political scandal shaking Lithuania, particularly concerning a corruption investigation by law enforcement into possible bribery at the State Plant Health Service. The focus of the scandal pertains to former Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis and his potential involvement, alongside a former advisor, Agne Silickiene, who has reportedly risen to significant heights in her career.

Malinauskas provided insight into the extent of Skvernelis's connections to Silickiene and how they might complicate the former Prime Minister’s position amid the accusations. According to him, these unclear ties to Silickiene, who also worked at the State Plant Health Service, put Skvernelis in a precarious position, as public scrutiny intensifies regarding his relationships and the implications they hold for the investigation.

Furthermore, the journalist elaborated on how Silickiene’s previous career achievements have attracted attention, drawing her closer to circles that are now under investigation, including the former police chief of the country. This entanglement raises further questions about ethical standards in Lithuanian politics and the potential consequences for those involved as the investigation unfolds.
