Lithuanian financial crimes agency chief stays in post

“Institutions basically did not provide any new information which would justify revoking the FNTT chief’s right to work with classified information,” said Giedrius Cininas, inspector general of the Interior Ministry, and added that a financial audit in relation to Jucevičius has also been carried out.

Interior Minister Saulius Skvernelis does not oppose the inquiry conclusions.

“I am forced to abide by laws and I do not see any other alternative,” he said.
