The suspicions have been brought against the mayor as part of an ongoing pre-trial investigation by officials at the service’s Panevezys unit into suspected abuse and bribery in public procurement in the Panevėžys district municipality.

The officials suspect that some public procurement procedures for land reclamation and road and street maintenance, reconstruction and design works were non-transparent.
