This week, after 3 more arrests in a riot case, the circle of suspects has expanded to 29 people. The prosecutor’s office sought to arrest one of the suspects for three months, but the court allowed it to be done for a much shorter period of three weeks.
The Šiauliai arrested on Thursday immediately after the riots became a real star on social networks. The widespread video captures how, before the riots are raging, he is one of the first to release a couple of stones into the officers.
“How provocateurs work,” was the title of the record. The protesters themselves began to share it widely, explaining that it was proof that the riots had been caused by hired provocateurs and that they had tried to find out for themselves.

It wasn’t long before the rioter introduced himself – on August 12, he appeared live on Antanas Kandroto-Celofan.
Here, the man explained that his brother, who lived in England, had been vaccinated against COVID-19 and soon died, which was what caused his anger and prompted him to take part in the rally.
During the live broadcast, the man not only confessed to throwing stones at the officers, but called 112 himself and surrendered to the police.
“We found an advertisement on the Internet that you are interested in people whose photos were made public at a rally in Vilnius,” the man told the official by phone.
The official replied that he should provide all the information by e-mail.
“And look, I’m watching so accidentally and I recognized myself what to do for me now,” the rioters asked if they could report to the commissariat immediately.
The policeman once again explained to him that the information should still be sent and the investigators would contact him when he could.
As we now know, investigators not only contacted him, but also detained him, suspected riots and arrested him.
He became the tenth suspect in the riot case to which he was assigned arrest. Milder remand measures for others.
A total of 18 officers were injured during the riots near the Seimas: 12 police officers and 6 VST officers were injured. Organizing riots is punishable by up to 6 years in prison.
