Lithuanian prosecutors go to Court of Appeals to prevent Labor Party's merger with another party

Prosecutor Saulius Verseckas of the Prosecutor General's Office lodged an appeal to the Court of Appeal of Lithuania against Vilnius Regional Court's ruling rejecting his request to stop the Labor Party's merger with the Order and Justice party.

"We are asking to abolish the Regional Court's ruling rejecting the request and to satisfy our request to restrict the party's activities for it not to be liquidated or reorganized as a legal entity. We believe there's a basis for application of such procedural measure of constraint," Verseckas told BNS.

The prosecutor says in case of a merger, the Labor Party would seize to exist and would evade prosecution.

Meanwhile Vilnius Regional Court rejected such a request, saying that there would be no obstacles to the prosecution of the reorganized legal entity.

The court also said that based on existing laws, the new legal entity would be responsible for the Labor Party's actions for three years following its establishment.

The appeal has to be heard in seven days.

The Labor Party is charged with bookkeeping fraud and tax evasion.
