Law enforcement on Thursday charged former Lithuanian prime minister Gintautas Paluckas with illicit enrichment.

​The charges in the pre-trial investigation into abuse of office and illicit enrichment were brought against the politician following his visit to the anti-corruption watchdog, the Special Investigation Service (STT).

​

“Charges have been filed [...] for illicit enrichment,” Paluckas told reporters. The news were later confirmed by the Prosecutor General's Office.
