A former adviser to the prime minister, an Irish-Lithuanian convicted of fraud and a figure who lost his Lithuanian citizenship due to his ties to Russia, are in the sights of law enforcement. These three loosely related personalities have one common denominator - real estate in Dubai. "Siena" publishes a detailed investigation about three Lithuanians, whose investments in the pearl of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) raise questions about the origin of the capital. Adolfas Kaminskas - an actor who lost his Lithuanian passport due to his connections with Russia - has already appeared in Siena's investigations. It was after "Siena" revealed that he also has a Russian passport that A. Kaminskas' Lithuanian citizenship was revoked. But he still managed to use it, investing several million euros in the skyscrapers of Dubai. Darius Jarmantavičius is a rising political star. The young sociodem, who worked as an adviser to Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius during the Social Democratic rule, has been living in Dubai for the seventh year. The law enforcement investigation into the origin of D. Jarmantavičius' wealth has been going on for almost as long. The investigation of another Lithuanian recently ended with a guilty verdict. Irish-Lithuanian Egidijus Aleliūnas was sentenced to prison for forging insurance policies worth millions. However, data from the UAE show that E. Aleliūnas is still the beneficiary of the apartments in Dubai. All this is revealed by the international investigation #DubaiUnlocked, coordinated by the investigative journalism center OCCRP and the Norwegian publication E24.
