Request filed to reopen R. Kurlianskis criminal case following Constitutional Court ruling

NOOR Partner and Attorney-at-Law Giedrius Danėlius, defending Raimondas Kurlianskis, has filed a request with the Supreme Court of Lithuania to reopen the criminal case. The request follows the Constitutional Court’s ruling of 7 July 2026, which found certain provisions of the Law on Intelligence governing the collection, storage, transfer and use of intelligence to be unconstitutional.

Throughout proceedings before all three levels of court, G. Danėlius consistently challenged both the constitutionality of the legal framework and the admissibility of intelligence obtained under it. Following the Constitutional Court’s ruling, he asked the Supreme Court to reassess whether the intelligence used in the case was obtained and used in accordance with the constitutional requirements of legality, justification and proportionality.

The Supreme Court has been asked to reopen the proceedings and assess whether the deficiencies in the legal framework identified by the Constitutional Court could have affected the conviction in R. Kurlianskis’ case.
