- Abstract
A legal scandal in Lithuania involving the contested will of Raimondas Karpavicius, a wealthy business tycoon, has gained attention in Western media. Family members claim that the will is fraudulent and was not executed according to his wishes. The case has led to criminal investigations and allegations of corruption, even reaching the United States. Lithuania, a recent member of the European Union and an American ally, has been working to improve public confidence in its courts, but judicial corruption remains a concern. The outcome of this case will test Lithuania's commitment to the rule of law.
