Alytus mayor's advisor Saulius Ivoška is under scrutiny following reports of large financial gifts from his retired parents and municipal contracts linked to family businesses.

Saulius Ivoška, an advisor to the mayor of Alytus and a member of the Social Democratic Party, has come under scrutiny following reports regarding substantial financial gifts received from his retired parents.

When asked to clarify the origin of the assets totaling hundreds of thousands of euros, Ivoška stated that the wealth "is justified." An investigation into his family's commercial connections revealed that two entities previously managed by his mother obtained significant revenue from the Alytus city municipality and municipal enterprises. Taxpayer funds were directed toward a local news portal and a construction waste disposal firm linked to his family.
