A Lithuanian prosecutor has listed two persons as suspects in the case. Rita Stundienė, spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office, said the suspects were Swedish citizens whose identities were withheld.
According to a press release circulated on Wednesday, prosecutors said that Lithuania has completed all possible actions of criminal proceedings and further actions may only be taken in Sweden.
The investigation revealed that the light airplane Jodel registered in Sweden violated international flight rules on July 4, 2012, by entering Belarus from Lithuania without the necessary documents and border-crossing permits and later returned to Lithuania, reads the press release.
The request from the Prosecutor General's Office along with the case materials are to be forwarded to the Lithuanian Justice Ministry, which, based on the established procedure, will mediate in the shipment of the documents to the Swedish Ministry of Justice.
Known as the “teddy-bear campaign”, the Swedish flight has led to sacking heads of the Belarusian anti-aircraft defense service and the state border agency.
Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko has repeatedly urged Lithuania to investigate the incident.
