E. Gentvilas, responding to controversial claims made by E. Masiulis in a recently released book, has stated his robust denial of any involvement in illegal activities. He expressed confusion over Masiulis's reference to a 'folder,' insisting that no such folder exists and asserting that there is nothing scandalous tied to him. Gentvilas suggests that Masiulis's efforts to attract publicity for his book are questionable and self-serving, aimed at boosting sales through media coverage.

Furthermore, Gentvilas emphasizes that throughout their professional relationship, he has never engaged in improper dealings with Masiulis, whom he regarded as a bright student turned advisor. He asserts that any actions taken by Masiulis leading to his legal troubles were independent of Gentvilas, hence insisting on his innocence. This claim may have significant implications for Gentvilas's political reputation, particularly in light of ongoing scrutiny in Lithuanian politics regarding corruption and accountability.

The exchange highlights the tension within Lithuanian political circles and underscores the challenges faced by politicians addressing allegations of misconduct. With media attention focused on Masiulis's revelations, it remains to be seen how this drama will unfold and whether it will have a lasting impact on the political landscape, as well as the public's perception of Gentvilas.
