Title
Kahtlustus seoses pakkujapoolse väärkäitumisega Kelme 2 ja Kelme 3 hankemenetluses
Message
Enefit Green AS-i siseauditi osakonna poolt Leedu tütarettevõttes Enefit Green UAB läbi viidud sisejuurdluse tulemusena esitati avaldus Leedu Vabariigi Eriuurimisteenistuse Keskuurimisosakonnale (edaspidi STT). Avalduses viidati oletatavale väärkäitumisele ühe Poola ehitusettevõtte poolt, mis oli üks pakkujatest Kelme 2 ja Kelme 3 ehitustööde hankemenetluses. Avalduse esitamisele järgnevalt algatas STT 20. septembril 2023 Leedu Vabariigi kriminaalkoodeksi artikli 227 lõike 3 alusel (altkäemaksu pakkumine) kohtueelse uurimise. 5. oktoobril 2023 teatas STT Enefit Greenile, et on kinni pidanud ühe nimetatud Poola ehitusettevõtte esindajatest. Enefit Green UAB ja Enefit Green AS tänavad STT-d koostöö eest. Enefit Greeni arendusjuhi Andres Maasing: "Enefit Greenis kehtib nulltolerants igasuguse ebaeetilise ja petturliku käitumise suhtes, mis puudutab nii töötajaid kui ka partnerorganisatsioone. Kõik meie partnerid peavad järgima kõrgeid eetilisi standardeid ja järgima Enefit Greeni äripartnerite eetikakoodeksit. Kõiki väidetavaid korruptiivse käitumise süüdistusi hinnatakse ja uuritakse ilma erandeid tegemata ning väidetava rikkumise või ebaeetilise käitumise kahtluse või tuvastamise korral teatatakse neist asjaomastele asutustele." Hetkel ei saa Enefit Green käimasoleva kohtueelse uurimise tõttu rohkem teavet avaldada.

Following this submission, on 20 September 2023, a pre-trial investigation was initiated by the STT under Article 227, paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania (i.e. offering a bribe). On 5 October 2023, STT has advised Enefit Green that it has detained one representative of the mentioned Polish construction company.
