"The investigation of evidence is over, we will hear the prosecutor's speech tomorrow," judge Daiva Pranytė-Zalieckienė said at the end of Thursday's hearing.

State prosecutor in the case, prosecutor Saulius Verseckas of the Prosecutor General's Office, has said he is ready for his closing argument of 185 pages he expects to read over one hearing.

The final speech usually covers evidence, and the prosecutor gives his opinion as to whether the persons or legal entities on trial should be found guilty.
