Ethics guards will investigate whether a Panevėžys district municipality official mixed public and private interests
The commission will investigate if Ina Kulikauskienė, the head of the Legal Department of the Panevėžys District Municipality, mismanaged public and private interests by approving a mayoral decree linked to a property matter involving a person close to her.
The ethics commission in Lithuania is set to probe whether Ina Kulikauskienė, who previously served as the head of the Legal Department at Panevėžys District Municipality, breached any laws by potentially conflating public and private interests. This investigation is particularly focused on her endorsement of a decree issued by the mayor on August 8, 2023, which pertains to a project involving the property interests of an individual personally connected to her. The decision in question involves significant matters of land formation and redevelopment that could present a conflict of interest.
