A significant ruling was issued by the Vilnius City District Court against Petras Ruškulis, who was found guilty of influence peddling and bribery as part of a broader investigation into corruption in the construction sector. This case was part of a larger operation by the Special Investigation Service (STT), which aimed to uncover bribery and corruption that sought to manipulate decisions made by state officials controlling the construction sector.

The court established that Ruškulis acted not only for himself but also for others, leveraging a network of contacts within various state institutions. His actions included offering, promising, receiving, or giving bribes to influence decisions regarding construction permits, documentation for completed projects, and other construction-related matters. The court has levied a final fine of 179,400 euros against him, alongside the confiscation of 12,800 euros related to his illicit activities.

Additionally, the court addressed another individual implicated in the same case, J. Č., who was granted an exemption from criminal liability under a surety agreement. This decision illustrates the court's approach to handling corruption cases and highlights the broader issues surrounding bribery and influence in Lithuania's construction industry, emphasizing the government's ongoing efforts to stamp out such corrupt practices.
