Lithuanian lawyer
Mantas Daneljus
was jailed again last week for violating the terms of his release from custody, which was decided by the Vilnius Court in early February, reports tv3.lt with reference to BNS.
This time, Danelius was taken into custody until April 5, said prosecutor
Gedrus Tarasevichus
, who is monitoring the investigation.
After his release from custody, Danelius was placed under increased surveillance, ordered to wear an electronic bracelet and his passport confiscated.
He also undertook not to contact or seek contacts with the participants in the process and other persons specified in the order.
However, he repeatedly violated these conditions - in particular, it is about the prohibition to communicate with certain people, the publication reports.
Therefore, the prosecutor appealed to the court with a request to put him under arrest again.
The publication does not specify with whom exactly Danelyus managed to talk, but after his release he gave a small gift to the Belarusian propagandist Ksenia Lebedeva.
Mantas Danelius was detained in Lithuania on September 28, 2022 for two months.
At the end of November, the detention was continued.
Danelius is suspected of collecting and passing on information to the special services of Belarus, in particular the KGB.
According to the Vilnius prosecutor's office, he was most interested in refugees from Belarus and Ukraine: he offered them legal assistance, but in fact he collected information on the financing of local Belarusian and Ukrainian organizations, and also tried to interfere with Ukrainians and Belarusians living in Lithuania.
