Other suspects in the case include Panevėžys Mayor Vitalijus Satkevičius, but he has not been put in custody.
Panevėžys prosecutors, in cooperation with officers of the Special Investigation Service, are carrying out an investigation into jobbery, fraud, and document forgery as part of the probe into legitimacy of spending of municipal money for reconstruction of the Romantic Hotel in Panevėžys.
The prosecutors suspect there may have been a plan before the 2011 European Basketball Championship to unlawfully reconstruct the hotel, owned by Via Unica company, on municipal funds.
