Only they are interested in Adamkus regime. There is opinion in
official bodies that drugs are "the price" for democracy. It is the
same like Eugene's effort to buy old houses in Tallin after
investments in creating democracy of Baltics, just more hardcore.

Acrid Smell of Drugs over =E2=80=98Little Sicily=E2=80=99
Ms.Rakauskiene is a lone soldier against this terrible mafia of drug
manufacturers
by Gintaras Uosis
Domeikava, a small town in the suburbs of the city of Kaunas, has long
been dubbed Little Sicily by locals. According to the testimony of Ms.
S. Rakauskiene, the town=E2=80=99s retired police officer, Domeikava is a
place where narcotic substances are freely produced. Strangers
arriving to the town in unfamiliar vehicles are closely monitored by
heavily-built young men.
Our re****ter had a chance to experience this kind of attention during
his visit to the infamous building No.20 on Neries Street. Several
local =E2=80=98Sicilians=E2=80=99 waited at the entrance of the building
for=
nearly
five hours while =E2=80=98the intruder=E2=80=99 was inside, then escorted
hi=
m to his
car, checked the license plate information and immediately re****ted it
to somebody over the phone.
The Beginning of the Detective =E2=80=98Movie=E2=80=99
It all started three years ago when a former policewoman S.
Rakauskiene arrived at the Vilnius Police Department with a hope to
find an official who could help her to (quote) =E2=80=9Cshut down the drug
manufacturing facility in her building in Domeikava=E2=80=9D. =E2=80=9CI
can=
not
breathe. An acrid smell lingers in my apartment. It is coming up from
the apartment below mine where centrifuges are spinning continuously.
I suspect that drugs may be manufactured in there=E2=80=9D, stated the
forme=
r
police officer three years ago.
The Police Department officials, however, could not determine the
cause of the acetone-and-gas-like odour at 20 Neries Street. =E2=80=9CThe
po=
or
lady must be suffering from hallucinations=E2=80=9D, the informal
conclusion=
was drawn. Especially that "none of the neighbours re****ted having
ever smelled anything suspicious". Ms. Rakauskiene is the only one
"constantly unhappy=E2=80=9D.
Consequently, Ms. Rakauskiene was left with no other choice but to ask
the press for help. If the police officers are not doing their duty,
maybe the journalists could help to reveal the mysteries of 20 Neries
Street and clarify the cause of the terrible odour coming from the
Apartment 11. Could the sound of spinning centrifuges really be just a
hallucination of the retired police officer?
However, Ms. S.Ratkauskiene was let down once again. The mass media
for some reason did not show any interest in the topic in question.
=E2=80=
=9CI
was alone. A lone soldier against this terrible mafia of drug
manufacturers=E2=80=9D, the retired employee of the Ministry of Interior
Affairs did not hide her disappointment. There really no reason for
her to be happy, since due to the constant exposure to unidentified
chemical substances the woman developed skin cancer.
=E2=80=9CI am not the only one inhaling this awful substance. Other
tenants =
of
the building are breathing the same air, which means they can also get
skin cancer any time=E2=80=9D, the former policewoman deliberates upon the
consequences of constant exposure to poisonous materials.
Yet, other residents of the building did not think that living in such
conditions could cause skin cancer. When inquired by the policemen
during their regular check following one more complaint by Ms.
Rakauskiene, the tenants of the house stated that they did not smell
anything abnormal.
In the meantime, to Ms. Rakauskiene herself the people of Little
Sicily say =E2=80=9CPut an end to these parasites and we will erect a
monume=
nt
in your tribute.=E2=80=9D
According to the locals, Little Sicily did not get the nickname for no
reason. Re****tedly, nearly every garage in this little town is used
for dismantling stolen vehicles, one residential facility is used for
the production of amphetamine, another one for the distribution of
heroine, and so the story goes. Hence, the production and distribution
of drugs in Domeikava, could be considered a public secret.
Amphetamine? Or Maybe Heroine?
=E2=80=9CThere are two possibilities. Either amphetamine is produced here
or=
heroine. Acrid smell is typically emitted in both cases=E2=80=9D, stated
the=
sources of information that did not want to be identified in the
newspaper. According to some indications - chemical material tests
conducted by Kaunas Public Health Center, which show high
concentration of acetone - it is possible to conclude that amphetamine
is produced there.
Meanwhile, other sources of the newspaper =E2=80=9CKarstas
Komentaras=E2=80=
=9D that
are well-familiar with the technologies of synthetic heroine
production, having heard the comments about the strange odour and the
spinning centrifuge, concluded that heroine could be produced.
According to their knowledge, a certain hydro-essence is one of the
ingredients in heroine production, and it smells so bad that it hardly
possible to stay in the same building where the drug is produced.
Being one of the locals of Little Sicily, Ms. Rakauskiene is inclined
to think that amphetamine is being made in the apartment below hers.
=E2=80=9CThe police officers told me: =E2=80=9CWe will run some tests, and
i=
f we find
acetone we will get them. It will be a sufficient evidence that drugs
are produced in this facility. However, the tests were run, high
concentration of acetone was detected, but in the end the police
declared that my 25-year old furniture was emitting the acetone-like
odour=E2=80=9D, the retired police officer no longer knows how to react:
lau=
gh
it all off or get upset.
The =E2=80=9Cex-cop=E2=80=9D, as the =E2=80=9CSicilians=E2=80=9D often
call =
her, has been keeping a
diary for over three years, in which she registers all the suspicious
activities of the neighbourhood. For example =E2=80=9COn Friday, December
8,=
2006 a carton box full of crystals was carefully moved from Apartment
11 to Apartment 12. What kind of crystals could that have been? I
think that it was amphetamine=E2=80=9D.
Finally, it is possible that in the apartment in question both
amphetamine and heroin could be produced, as the bizarre odour coming
out of it had changed several times.
Hope Died First
Having talked to most TV stations and newspapers, Ms. Rakauskiene
remained hopeless to ever eliminate the dangerous smell from her
apartment. Upon hearing complaints, the mass media seemed to start
trying their best to avoid further contact with Ms. Rakauskiene.
Finally, a re****ter from the daily paper =E2=80=98Kauno Diena=E2=80=99
(=E2=
=80=98Kaunas
Today=E2=80=99) wrote an article on the suspicions of the former police
officer and described the alleged drug factory in her building. The
outcome, however, was just like one could easily predict in the
corrupted Lithuania: the acrid odour continues coming out of the
suspicious apartment and the centrifuges keep on spinning around the
clock. Only the owners of the apartment became more careful and
established several watch posts around the house.
Re****ter of =E2=80=9CKarstas Komentaras=E2=80=9D Stalked on Site
To tell the truth, we also found S. Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s story rather
hard =
to
believe. According to her, narcotic substances had been manufactured
in her neighbours=E2=80=99 apartment for more than three years, while the
police led by Vytautas Grigaravicius, the Lithuanian =E2=80=98commissar
Cora=
do
Catani=E2=80=99, took no action to close down this drug factory?!
=E2=80=9CWhat a nonsense=E2=80=9D thought =E2=80=9CKarstas
Komentaras=E2=80=
=9D and decided to go to
Domeikava and make sure Ms. Rakauskiene was not seeing visions.
On Saturday, April 14, 2007, a re****ter of =E2=80=9CKarstas
Komentaras=E2=80=
=9D went
to Little Sicily (i.e. Domeikava) without former notice and paid a
call on Ms. Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s bizzar- smelling residence.
=E2=80=9CThat place is truly a Little Sicily=E2=80=9D concluded the
re****ter=
of
=E2=80=9CKarstas Komentaras=E2=80=9D after the visit. At the entrance to
Ms.=
Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s residence he was met by two young men who stayed
outsi=
de
and closely watched the building for almost five hours while the
re****ter was inside. The men later escorted him the nearby parking lot
and made a quick phone call to re****t, and possibly verify, Mr.
Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s visitor=E2=80=99s license plate data. After seeing
the=
=E2=80=98intruder=E2=80=99 off, the two =E2=80=98guardian angels=E2=80=99
we=
nt back to the same
building, 20 Neries Street.
A few days later, on Monday, our re****ter was blackmailed: if the
article on drug production were published, his son=E2=80=99s and his own
vehicles would be blown up. Several questions arise: why threaten the
re****ter of =E2=80=9CKarstas Komentaras=E2=80=9D and his family, if
nothing =
bad was
happening at 20 Neries Street? What sort of backup and in which
organizations must the Sicilians of Domeikava have to be able to find
out the identity of Ms. Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s visitor in less than 24
hours?=
What database one must have access to in order to trace down all the
information about the owner of the vehicle and his family having just
his license place number?
There is no doubt that the nest of evil can be within the Lithuanian
Police.
Drug Trade: Exclusive Business of Police Agents
=E2=80=9CKarstas komentaras=E2=80=9D once again proved its initial
hypothesi=
s: the
trade of drugs in Lithuania is strictly controlled by high-ranking
officials. The production and distribution is permitted only to those
willing to cooperate with the police. The remaining potential traders
are eliminated from the market by detention, trials and long-term
imprisonment.
The story presented in this article allows making such an assumption.
Three years ago, when the new buzzing sound in the neighbouring
apartment and and the weird odour all over the residential building at
20 Neries Street prompted the first Ms.Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s call on the
Kaunas District Criminal Police Office, she received a warm welcome
from Mr. R. Muliuolis, the Head of the Criminal police department. Ms.
Rakauskiene was asked to follow and register all the suspicious
visitors and occurrences at 20 Neries Street. The retired policewoman
kept on performing the duties of the criminal police for half a year.
Later on, when the data she had gathered was passed on to Mr.
Maliuolis, Ms. Rakauskiene became no longer useful to the police, as
at that point they =E2=80=98took over the investigation=E2=80=99.
It has been three years since the investigation started, but still
there is no news.
Therefore, here comes the conclusion. After Ms. Rakauskiene found out
the truth, the police offered a deal to the drug producers: we provide
you the cover in return for a kick back. Could that be the reason why
the investigation based on Ms. Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s data has been taking
so=
long?
This is a version easy to believe, especially as during an unofficial
chat some Kaunas police officers stated that there is an unannounced
state policy in regards to drug production. Maintaining these narcotic
shops in a way does the work of the nation cleansing: the smart ones
would neither purchase nor consume drugs, while the stupid individuals
will buy them, consume them, and eventually die off.
=E2=80=9CThere are two of such sites in Panemune=E2=80=9D, almost
incidental=
ly
mentioned another former officer.
There is really not much say, as such policies rather closely resemble
fascism.
Consequently, one should not be surprised that it is nearly impossible
to close down the drug shop in Domeikava, and that the complaints of
Ms. Rakauskiene simply do not really get the attention of the police
or the public prosecutor. The officers are simply complying with the
policy of the state. There is no reason to go against the flow and
start closing down drug factories.
Field Methods: Resident Survey
Having worked for the Soviet militia, later a police officer in the
independent Lithuania, Ms. Rakauskiene was well aware of the methods
used by the police to catch criminals. Therefore, after getting
suspicious about drug production in her own house, Ms. Rakauskiene
contacted the Head of Kaunas District Police, Mr. Sestakovas, and
asked him to take field measures in order to unfold the criminal
activities.
Some of the field measures include phone call monitoring,
surveillance, installations of audio and video recording equipment on
site (as, for instance, it had been previously done in the
headquarters of the Labour Party). Thus, based on the suspicion that
narcotic substances are produced at 20 Neries Street, surveillance
equipment should have been immediately installed. Especially when
there also was the strong odour spreading throughout the building from
the apartment in question, which led to the assumption about the
possibility of drug production.
The officers, however, have not taken any similar. What they did
looked more like a joke than a serious investigation. Namely, they
conducted an interview with the suspects, during which they asked:
=E2=80=9CAre you making drugs in your flat?=E2=80=9D Do doubt the answer
was=
=E2=80=9COf
course not! We are not producing any drugs!=E2=80=9D
After the interview, the suspicious sounds disappeared from the
apartment and in a about a week the odour also dissipated. At that
time a group of police officers arrived to inspect the apartment.
Naturally, they found nothing suspicious, and the complaint of Ms.
Rakauskiene was found to have no grounds.
Meanwhile the re****ter of =E2=80=9CKarstas Komentaras=E2=80=9D paid an
unexp=
ected
visit to the above-mentioned residence on April 14, 2007 and
immediately sensed the sharp smell of acetone. After having stayed in
Ms. Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s apartment for about five hours, re****ter's eyes
became red and irritated, his nose and throat started aching. Eye
irritation has seized only five days later, and his nose was aching
few more days . In comparison, try to imagine the health condition of
Ms. Rakauskiene, who has been living under these cir***stances for
nearly three years.
So, who is responsible for the numerous health problems, especially
the skin cancer, caused by living in the environment full of dangerous
chemical substances?
Ms. Rakauskiene to Mental Institution
The case of Ms. Rakauskiene once again proved that Lithuania is a
country of criminals and is still very far from the true democracy.
Being unable to resolve the matter in the Kaunas Police Office, Ms.
Rakauskiene attempted to meet the Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr.
Raimundas Sukys. However, the the audience was denied.
Then Ms. Rakauskiene whote a formal letter to the Minister. The letter
was officially received and stamped by the reception of the Ministry
of Internal Affairs on August 24, 2006. Ms. Rakauskiene hoped that the
newly-elected Minister would be the man of pinciple and high morals,
an accomplished lawyer, who would surely resolve the problem of the
suspicious odours in her house.
=E2=80=9CMy neighbours from the apartment right below mine are constantly
producing susbtances which I suspect to be psychotropic, as I can
constantly smell repugnant mixture of gas and chemicals. The va****s
emited during the manufacturing processes, as well as smut, rise to my
floor straight into my apartment. This makes me feel constantly sick,
causes continuous headaches and throataches. My living conditions are
abnormal, and this eventually led me to the skin cancer=E2=80=9D.
=E2=80=9CI made a big mistake by attentioning my compaint to the Police
Department of Domeikava and the Kaunas Police Office. I believed the
officers to be honest. I am now assured that this illegal activity is
conducted with the blessing of the police. For example, just before
the deadline to answer my complaint, several police officers came to
inspect Apartment 11. However, one or two days before the inspection,
unusual activities took place in that apartment: things were moved
around in a loud manner, something was removed and trans****ted and the
apartment itself was thoroughly cleaned and aired.=E2=80=9D
=E2=80=9CThis is when I understood that =E2=80=9Cvisitors=E2=80=9D were
expe=
cted. Naturally,
the policemen could not find andything. To tell the truth, they
probably did not even for anything at all. The only purpose of the
visit was to demonstrate that the inspection took place=E2=80=9D.
=E2=80=9CHaving lost all hopes, I am addressing you with a lonely
woman=E2=
=80=99s plea
for help. Can it be possible that there are no more honorable and
profecional officers left in the entire Ministry of Internal Afairs,
who could take measures to unravel the illegal drug production
activities and put the criminals to justice=E2=80=9D.
This was the excerpt from Ms. Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s letter to the Minister
o=
f
Internal afairs, Mr. R. =C5=A0ukys.
Th answer that Ms. Rakauskiene received caused her to faint: within
less than a month after the complaint to the minister, on September
22, 2006, the Kaunas Public Prosecutor Jolanta Laurinaviciute made a
decion to schedule Ms. Rakauskiene for a mental health exam in order
to determine whether the former police officer complaining about
illegal drug production was not affected by a some sort of mental
illness. The exam was supposed to take place in the Psychiatric
Hospital of Ziegzdriai.
Well, there you go! If you cannot live with the suspicious sickening
odours coming from the neghbours=E2=80=99 apartment, we will cure you in a
psychiatric hospital because everyone knows that the odours are simply
the fruit of your imagination. Just like KGB.
Luckily, Ms. Rakauskiene was not the only one sensing the odour. So
did her attorney and the bailiff of the court when visiting her
regarding the complaints, and finally also the re****ter of =C2=A8Karstas
Komentaras=E2=80=9D. Should they also be sent to the Psychiatric Hospital
in=
Ziegzdriai?
We hope not. Ms. Rakauskienie was not taken to the hospital either.
The court has eventually voided the rulling of the Public Prosecutor.
Drug Production Sites Not to Be Touched
Ms. Rakauskiene=E2=80=99s case is far from unique. Both Kaunas and Vilnius
police forces cannot smell acrid acetone odours comming out of
apartments, inspite of the fact that acetone is one of the amphetamine
ingreditents.
On February 21, 2007, the member of Seimas Julius Veselka sent a
letter to the Head of the Police Vytautas Grigaravicius asking to
investigate the complaint by Ana Rutkovskaja who indicated another
narcotic production site. =E2=80=9CThe lady visited all sorts of
institution=
s,
but no one wants to take any action. Maybe the police will exterminate
these narcotic factories?=E2=80=9D This was an excerpt from Mr.
Veselka=E2=
=80=99s
letter to Mr. Grigaravicius.
Two days later, on February 23, 2007, Mr. Veselka received a brief
response from Ms. Tauginien=C4=97, the Head of Common Inquiries Section of
the Police Department. The note said that the complaint by Ms.
Rutkovskaja had been forwarded to the Vilnius Police Department, and
Mr. Veselka would be informed about the results of the investigation.
At the end of April 2007 Mr. Veselka had not yet received any
communication from the officers of Vilnius Police Office.
Maybe some time in the future the officers of the Vilnius Police
Office will inform Mr. Veselka about the progress of the
investigation, however we can already guess the content of the reply:
=E2=80=9CMs. Rutkovskaja=E2=80=99s complaint regarding drug production is
no=
t
confirmed=E2=80=9D. This would be consistent with the complaint by
Eleonora
and Vytautas Sironai regarding a narcotic factory at 43 Naugardukas
Street where suspicious odour are also comming from the
neighbours=E2=80=99
apartment. By the way, when the same bizzar smell was spreading from
another block of the same building, it was quickly eliminated because
one of the tennants was closely related to Ceslovas Jursenas, the Vice-
Chairman of the Lithuanian Parliament.
In the meantime, Eleonora and Vytautas Sironai are only ordinary
citizens of Lithuania who are remembered only once in four years,
during the elections. Whereas the time intervals between the elections
may be used to perform some cleansing among the regular citizens. It
is likely that the retired teacher Mrs. Sironien=C4=97 may also have skin
cancer, while Ms. Rakauskiene, who has been living sourounded by the
suspicious substances for three years has already been diagnosed
positive.
Such is our criminal Lithuania where genocide is taking place in a
broad daylight and not a single institution or government official
take a step to stop the poisoning of the nation.
