The publication reported that Sagaydak had tried to emigrate to Lithuania giving Butkevičius's address, but his application had been turned down. Earlier in 1997 he was accused of committing an offence. Case of “Snipers” was instituted against the defendant and dealt with his participation in the shooting of pro-European demonstrators in Vilnius and his cooperation with the KGB. In October 1997 he was arrested in Vilnius whereupon he was imprisoned and sentenced to five and a half years in jail.
