Lithuania finishes 13 January massacre investigation

According to the Lithuanian prosecutors, most of them are hiding abroad, evading prosecution, therefore, European warrants for their arrest have been issued and an international search for them has been announced.

According to the Office, the decision to finish the probe was made after it was concluded that all evidence proving the suspects’ guilt in possible war crimes and crimes against humanity have been collected during the pre-trial investigation.

The process participants, including the suspects, their lawyers, victims, civil claimants or their representatives, can get acquainted with the materials of the pre-trial investigation until 12 May 2015. Later on, the case will be handed over to court.
