The “Surveillance” Scandal is Over – Lietuvos Telekomas was not and is not

Engaged in any Illegal Activities



The investigation group, led by General Prosecutor stated that AB Lietuvos

Telekomas was not engaged in any illegal activities, related with inviolability

of life of the private person. Representatives of different law institutions

stated that the software and technical equipment under the investigation was

procured and used in a legal manner with the legitimate purpose – security of

telecommunication network and prevention of frauds.



When commenting the decision of General Prosecutor to discontinue the pre-trial

investigation Arunas Siksta, General Manager of AB Lietuvos Telekomas expressed

the hope that the so-called “surveillance” scandal, which raised significant

response from the public will be over.



During the scandal Lietuvos Telekomas was tried to be accused with audio

surveillance of political parties, banks, private persons and other unrealistic

incriminations. Neither of the said rumors was found true.



“I would like to emphasize that I have repeatedly stated that Lietuvos Telekomas

does not serve any other interests but those of its customers, shareholders and

the society. Being one of the largest tax payers we are surprised that a foreign

capital enterprise, which has invested billions and granting millions of Litas

each year for charity, was tried to be implicated into a swirl of slander and

ungrounded accusations“, – stated Arunas Siksta.



According to General Manager of Lietuvos Telekomas such artificial scandals do

not contribute to improvement of the business environment and mitigate the image

of Lithuania as an investment attractive country.
