SocDems address prosecutor general asking for inquiry into possible leak

The opposition Social Democratic Party (LSDP) officially addressed the Prosecutor General’s Office on Friday morning asking to open a pre-trial investigation into a possible leak from the Seimas to ex-MP Kristijonas Bartoševičius, a suspect of child sexual abuse.

In their appeal, the Social Democrats refer to Article 247 of the Criminal Code on the unauthorised disclosure of pre-trial investigation data. The article foresees community service, a fine, restriction of liberty or arrest for the misdemeanour.
