VILNIUS - Lithuania's General Prosecutor's Office decided to apply to the relevant authorities in Sweden asking to take over the prosecution of the so-called Teddy bears case.
The General Prosecutor's Office says that it has carried out all criminal proceedings in the pre-trial investigation on illegal border crossing and violation of international air traffic rules. Further prosecution is only possible in Sweden.
According to the pre-trial investigation data, on July 4 of 2012 light aircraft Yodel with Swedish registration number flew from Lithuania to Belarus and later returned to Lithuania.
