The applicant was arrested on 24   April 2015 and placed in detention on remand. He was charged with being a member of organised criminal group, drug trafficking, attempted murder and other crimes. His detention on remand was prolonged until the applicant’s conviction at first instance by the Kaunas Regional Court on 5   June 2018. The criminal proceedings against the applicant are still pending. The applicant complains under Article 5 § 3 of the Convention that the length of his detention on remand was excessive. QUESTION TO THE PARTIES Was the length of the applicant’s detention on remand compatible with the “reasonable time” requirement of Article   5 §   3 of the Convention (see Lisovskij v. Lithuania , no.   36249/14, §§ 65-68, 2 May 2017, and the case-law cited therein; also see, more recently, Velečka and Others v. Lithuania , nos.   56998/16 and 3   others, §§ 93-106, 26 March 2019)? The parties are requested to inform the Court about further developments regarding the applicant’s criminal proceedings.
