Liberal MP’s charity to reject donations from MG Baltic

MG Baltic vice-president Raimondas Kurlianskis has been detained on suspicions of having offered a €100,000 bribe to the Liberal Movement’s former leader Eligijus Masiulis.

Steponavičius, who is a member of parliament and former minister of education, has lent his name to a charity foundation managed by 32 individuals, including himself and fellow liberal politicians.

MG Baltic’s donations to Steponavičius’ foundation have been generous, but unsteady, according to state registry. In 2016, MG Baltic Media gave €5,000 and Mitnija, also part of the group, donated 20,000 litas (€5,800) in 2014.
