Land swap case

In 2005, motivated by an article that was published in Eesti Ekspress, an investigation of the entitlement and possible corruption factors concerning the swap of rural land properties under nature conservation protection was started. In 2009 the Office of the Prosecutor General brought charges to the partakers of the land swap case. Tullio Liblik was accused of bribery. Besides Liblik, two members of Riigikogu, Villu Reiljan and Ester Tuiksoo, businessmen Toomas Annus, Einar Vettus and Tarmo Pedjasaar, also Kalev Kangur, the former Director General of Estonian Land Board, and corporate bodies AS Järvevana and AS E.L.L. Kinnisvara were accused.

In 2012, Harju County Court acquitted all the defendants of the land swap case[18] and ordered the state to pay the defendants' court costs.[19]

Business argument with Sukles

Saarte Investeering and MaxKinnisvara started their cooperation in 2004 in order to construct the Hirvepargi housing development in Sauga parish, Pärnu County. By the year 2007, twelve houses had been erected when the project needed additional financing to proceed with the construction. The owners of MaxKinnisvara didn’t want to add any more money to the initial investment of 20,000 euros and, as a consequence, disagreements arose between the partners.

Ongoing disagreements resulted in ordering a hit in 2010.[20]

The police managed to prevent the hit[21][22] and Andrus Sukles was arrested.

Harju County Court found that Sukles wished to kill his former business partner and also made preparations to achieve that. However, Sukles was acquitted.[23]

Tullio Liblik is the first child of her mother.
