The contacts of Bastys, a member of the ruling Social Democratic Party group, came into the spotlight after the State Security Department notified the parliamentary speaker that Bastys should not be issued a permit to work with classified information. According to data available to the department, Bastys was linked with Yevgeny Kostin, titled as a representative of the Russian nuclear energy corporation Rosatom, former KGB agent Piotr Voyeiko, Russian state channel RTR journalist Ernest Matskevich, former Kaunas mafia leader Saturnas Dubininkas and Vadimas Pachomovas, a businessman suspected of shady operations.
