In the P. Isoda 'cheque' case, the prosecutor requests to re-interview the former city controller

The prosecutor in the P. Isoda case is seeking to re-interview a former city controller, emphasizing the importance of clarifying the authenticity of various documents related to the case.

In the ongoing P. Isoda case, which centers around alleged misuse of municipal funds, the prosecutor Darius Valkavičius has requested that the former city controller be interviewed again. Previously, he testified in the Kaunas District Court, but the prosecutor believes that further questioning is necessary to determine whether municipal administration employees had the opportunity to verify the authenticity of documents they were presented with. This includes considerations about whether employees were able to identify the authenticity of receipts and whether they adequately reviewed undetailed invoices from communication companies.

The prosecutor's renewed request highlights the complexities of the case, particularly in relation to how municipal funds were managed and oversaw. Valkavičius believes that obtaining live comments from the former controller in court will add clarity to the proceedings. The focus is on ensuring that proper processes were followed in reviewing expense claims and other financial documentation submitted by council members.

In a related development, the mayor's attorney, Giedrius Danėlius, has requested that the Appellate Court seek clarification from the Constitutional Court regarding the appropriateness of financial allowances tied to the duties of council members. This aspect of the case underlines the legal intricacies of local governance and may have wider implications for how municipal councils operate and manage funds in Lithuania.
