Private sector corruption remains unpersecuted, says Lithuanian MP

The Supreme Court has ruled that the current construction of the Criminal Code is inappropriate and its section regulating corruption crimes cannot by applied to individuals as opposed to corporate entities.

“At first glance, the new ruling of the Supreme Court has no major consequences, however, other sections of the Criminal Code do not provide for anti-corruption regulation for private individuals; as a result, corruption in the private sector in Lithuania has remained unpersecuted,” says Bilotaitė.
