What a beautiful family!" one follower wrote, while another exclaimed, "What a brother!" This positive reception led Pikul to playfully address the burgeoning interest in her sibling, stating, "I'm getting so many of your letters about my brother! He doesn't have social media, maybe someday in the future. He's handsome, masculine, but with a fiery character, just like me. Our mother says what tempestuous children I have."
Koks brolis!
The article, however, shifts focus to reveal a more complex background for Pikul's brother, Jonas Baronas. "Delfi" reports that Baronas has a history as a known figure in the criminal underworld. He was previously arrested in 2015 for drug distribution and, during that arrest, narcotics were found in his possession. In 2017, he used an illegally owned firearm in public, injuring two people before fleeing the scene. Following an extensive search, he was apprehended in Portugal in December 2022 based on a European arrest warrant issued by Lithuania. After legal proceedings, he was extradited to Lithuania in March 2023 and placed in Kaunas prison. His sentence was later reduced from seven and a half years to three and a half years.
