R. Žemaitaitis on the investigation regarding A. Gedvila: they will request documents and that will be the end of it

R. Žemaitaitis commented on the investigation into A. Gedvilo, expressing confidence that the inquiry will conclude swiftly after requesting the necessary documents.

R. Žemaitaitis addressed the investigation into A. Gedvilo's possible illegal enrichment and inaccurate reporting of income, stating that, as the head of the party and the faction, he is actively monitoring the situation. He affirmed that he had talked with Gedvilo about the matter and found his explanations to be orderly and reasonable, suggesting that the State Tax Inspectorate had previously assessed the situation without issues.

He noted that the prosecution will only initiate a preliminary investigation if someone files a complaint or publicly raises questions, hinting that this is standard legal procedure.
