The unit will carry out operational activities and pre-trial investigations. Greater attention will be paid to the corruption prevention and elimination of corruption causes, also to the corruption risk evaluation and its reduction, writes LETA/ELTA.
Minister of the Interior Raimundas Palaitis expects more efficiency from the Immunity Board.
"Officers in the police system have many opportunities and little likelihood of being caught, therefore I welcome the emergence of such unit," the minister said.
