VILNIUS, Lithuania, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- Former Lithuanian President Rolandas Paksas has won acquittal from the country's Supreme Court on charges of revealing a state secret.
The high court said "there is no sufficient evidence to the ex-president's culpability," the Itar-Tass news agency reported.
Paksas was impeached in 2004. In March, an appeals court found him guilty of telling his financial sponsor, Russian businessman Yury Borisov, that the State Security Department had tapped his telephone.
"Finally, justice has triumphed," Paksas said, adding that the high court had ruled that 15 of 16 charges against him were unfounded.
He said that the only remaining charge is that he improperly allowed Borisov to be naturalized as a Lithuanian citizen.
