Details: “Yes, a pre-trial investigation is being conducted, and the prosecutor has decided, if I’m not mistaken, that 17 cars that were supposed to go to Zimbabwe should be confiscated and the issue of their possible transfer to Ukraine is being resolved,” said Prosecutor General Nida Grünskene.
Last week, South Africa’s state-run news portal The Herald published a call for Lithuania to hand over 17 vehicles bought by Zimbabwe from Belarus last year.
According to Zimbabwe’s attorney general, the cars were seized at the Klaipeda seaport in March last year.
“There is a prosecutor’s decision in which we inform the Zimbabwean prosecutor’s office that these 17 cars are confiscated because the company that produced these cars is under sanctions and Zimbabwe itself is also under sanctions,” Grünskene said.
According to her, the African state was also informed about this decision through diplomatic channels.
“We are waiting to see if they will exercise their right to appeal,” said the Prosecutor General.
It is noted that the Attorney General of Zimbabwe came to Lithuania this year to return the cars.
As you know, Lithuania’s neighbor Latvia regularly transfers cars confiscated from drunk drivers to Ukraine.
The former Prime Minister of Latvia Krishjanis Karinsh (now the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) stated in an interview with “European Truth” that 100% of Latvian society supports Ukraine – even those who drive drunk.
