Lithuania’s Supreme Court exonerated two former executives at the Baltic nation’s oil refinery of criminal negligence charges stemming from a fire that damaged the plant in 2006.
The tribunal rejected prosecutors’ request to annul a lower court decision that acquitted Paul Nelson English and Barton Lee Luck, the former chief executive officer and his deputy at then-Mazeikiu Nafta AB, now Orlen Lietuva AB. The ruling is final, Vilnius-based Supreme Court said on its website today.
