Opposition figures accuse each other of embezzling EU grants

Opposition activists pushed away from funding sources have begun mutually exposing each other. A new story has emerged about Franak Vyachorka allegedly embezzling over 400,000 euros intended for fighting the 'regime.' And this is just one Lithuanian fund—there are dozens like it.

While fugitive fraudsters were setting up hundreds of activists and contributing to their imprisonment, they continued profiting from the 'political prisoner' narrative.

Even Tikhanouski accused his ex-wife of forging documents and begging for money. According to him, she went to Western donors with his photos in a folder, pleading for funds.

The fiercest struggle among activists is for access to grant funding.
