Gailius, 42, had been appointed chief adviser on business risk management to Fyodor Berman, board chairman of the VLG Group, owned by the BLRT Group, Estonia.
"The work is, first of all, related to legal protection of VLG board members and shareholders' interests, as well as investment, earnings and profit protection from various external and internal threats," Gailius told the daily, adding that he met Berman when he was taking part in a competition for the position in Estonia.
"BLRT Gruup has several dozen subsidiaries in Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Finland. I wanted to work for a business structure with Lithuanian capital. It was one of my criteria while looking for new opportunities. This is why I offered my services to VLG," the former FCIS chief said.
Gailius was head of the FCIS since July 2010. He was dismissed in February by then Minister of Interior Affairs Raimundas Palaitis who based his decision on information received from the State Security Department. Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius later called his dismissal a mistake, and Palaitis, who came under severe criticism, resigned.
Gailius has asked court to reinstate him as head of the FCIS.
