As Tautvilė Merkevičiūtė, the press representative of the Kaunas district court, confirmed to Elta, it was decided to return A. Kandroto-Celofan’s complaint to himself.
“The complaint was refused taking into account the fact that the applicant’s complaint was filed after the statutory deadline for his appeal had passed, and the request to renew it has not been submitted to the court”, T. Merkevičiūtė stated the reasons for the court’s decision not to accept the complaint.
In January of this year, A. Kandrotas-Celofanas was punished administratively, he was fined 140 euros. It was issued due to the fact that the man did not comply with the legal demand of the police officers to get out of the car and present the documents, and when he was detained, he resisted the police officers forcefully, did not get out of the car, stiffened his hands, held on to the car, and did not comply with the requirement not to resist.
ELTA reminds that on the evening of January 15, A. Kandrotas-Celofanas was detained in Kaunas, on Raudondvaris street, while the police were executing a court sentence. That morning, he was sentenced to two actual terms of imprisonment in financial crime cases. A. Kandrotas-Celofanas broadcast his arrest live, it was heard that he refuses to get out of his car.
Later, the Office of the Controller of Child Rights Protection established that, when detaining the convict, the police officers did not comply with the provisions of legal acts, which provide for informing the State Child Rights Protection and Adoption Service about the use of procedural coercion in the presence of a minor child.
The Children’s Rights Protection Controller, which conducted the investigation, identified the violation in police actions on March 19. It is true, as stated by Jolita Gritytė, the senior adviser of the Child Rights Protection Controller, taking into account the fact that the police conducted an internal investigation into the arrest of A. Kandroto-Celofan and found a violation in the actions of the officers, the Child Rights Protection Controller did not take additional steps.
“Taking into account the fact that the Police Department, after conducting an internal inspection, identified the aforementioned violation and took appropriate measures, instructed subordinate officers to re-acquaint subordinate officers with the legal acts regulating the actions of police officers when detaining a person in the presence of minors, additionally the controller did not make a proposal regarding the identified violation.” – J. Gritytė said to Elta.
After the police arrested A. Kandrotas-Celofanas on January 15 and brought him to the Kaunas detention center, the next day, the man, remotely participating in the court hearing in the case of the riots near the Seimas, stated that the police officers had abused him.
The Immunity Board of the Police Department assessed the circumstances of the detention and did not initiate a pre-trial investigation into the actions of the officers. It was established that the officials did not abuse their official position.
In January of this year, the appellate court found A. Kandrotas guilty of financial crimes in two criminal cases, after combining the sentences, the man was sentenced to 2 years and 10 months of imprisonment. He is now serving his sentence in Vilnius prison.
Previously convicted A. Kandrotas is one of the accused in 2012. in the case of riots near the Seimas.
The man had announced that he would take part in this year’s presidential elections, but the Supreme Electoral Commission had already twice refused to register him for the presidential election campaign, because the person could not open a bank account for the elections.
A. Kandrotas also announced that he had created the party “Mes Lietuva” with his comrades, but he did not submit the documents of the founding convention in time, so the Ministry of Justice decided that the party could not be registered.
