Marketing head of Belarusian resort in Lithuania convicted of spying

June 11, Pozirk. The Minsk City Court has sentenced Elena Ramanauskienė, who was in charge of marketing at the Belorus health resort in Lithuania’s Druskininkai, to six years in prison in a trial behind closed doors, ONT reported.
The prosecutor charged that woman and an unnamed resort manager had been recruited by the Lithuanian State Security Department and shared records on resort guests, including high-ranking Belarusian officials, for more than 10 years.
The manager had been already sentenced to nine years in prison, ONT said.
Ramanauskienė, 59, was born in Minsk and had Belarusian citizenship, according to 15min.lt. Last year, the woman reportedly ran in the Druskininkai local election.
In December 2022, the Committee for State Security (KGB) reported the arrest of Andrej Kobel, a former chief physician at the resort.
He went on trial in August 2023 in Minsk on charges of high treason for allegedly spying for Lithuania. Authorities have not disclosed any further details.
