  • Justina Gaigalaitė is under scrutiny for alleged undeclared income used to purchase property.
  • Gaigalaitė officially worked part-time at the Ambulance Service but reportedly offered services through a website promoting 'sobering houses'.
  • While the website claims to offer only consultations, the services described appear to be for treating alcohol intoxication, a practice that is formally illegal in Lithuania but not strictly controlled.

Questions are mounting over Justina Gaigalaitė's finances, particularly concerning how she acquired property while officially employed only part-time at the Ambulance Service. Reports indicate that Gaigalaitė declared her assets under her father's name, raising further questions about the source of her wealth.

While her official employment was limited to a quarter-time position, Gaigalaitė appears to have been involved in offering 'sobering house' services across Lithuania. Her website, 'isblaivinimopaslaugos.lt,' describes itself as an educational platform providing consultations. However, the nature of the services advertised, including "sobering up, restoring body fluids in case of poisoning after long-term or short-term alcohol consumption," suggests a more direct involvement in treating alcohol intoxication.

These services, while advertised as consultations, are formally illegal in Lithuania. Despite the lack of strict control, the explicit descriptions found in a June advertisement, which included "qualified consultation on further treatment for addiction, coding. Sobering services performed by licensed specialists. Many years of experience. We come to your home, assess the person's condition and provide necessary (first / emergency) aid. We guarantee confidentiality", indicate a business operating in a legally gray area. The phone number listed on the website is currently disconnected, adding another layer of opacity to Gaigalaitė's activities.
