Širvintos district mayor Živilė Pinskuvienė and her husband, Jonas Pinskus, have acquired two substantial plots of land by a lake in the Širvintos region, embarking on the construction of an opulent estate. The acquisition of these properties has drawn scrutiny, particularly concerning the financial disclosures of the politician's family.
While the price of the land deal has been investigated, it has reportedly not been fully reflected in the Pinskuses' official asset declaration. This discrepancy has raised questions about transparency in political financial reporting and adherence to disclosure regulations.
Further complicating the situation are concerns about the construction itself. Questions have emerged regarding whether an auxiliary building on the property will be used solely as an accessory structure, as permitted. Following inquiries from the media outlet 'Delfi,' the Construction Inspectorate has initiated an assessment to determine the legality of the issued construction permit, adding another layer of investigation into the Pinskuses' property development.
