Lithuania's State Security Department (VSD) declared 22 Belarusian citizens who worked for a technology company a threat to national security, revoked their temporary residence permits, expelled them from Lithuania, and banned them from returning or entering the Schengen area for five years. The individuals worked for a company involved in a European Union satellite navigation project financed by EUSPA and fraudulently obtained nearly 500,000 euros. An investigation found the company concealed links to Russian and Belarusian military industries. Two Belarusian citizens were convicted in Vilnius Regional Court for fraud involving nearly 500,000 euros. The project was meant to develop high-precision satellite navigation receivers for agricultural applications.
