Financial Crime Investigation Service

The Financial Crime Investigation Service is a law enforcement agency of the Ministry of the Interior (Lithuania).[1]

In October 2018 it announced that it had detected a fraud against the National Health Insurance Fund where more than 1,200 Polish people were given fake employment contracts in Lithuania to get refunds of healthcare costs to which they were not entitled. They did not in fact work in Lithuania, but claimed to be eligible for sickness and maternity benefits under European Union law. 120,000 euros were transferred from the fund in respect of 420 bogus employees to the Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia before the fraud was detected.
