Lithuanian media is claiming fraud orchestrated by Azerbaijan to take a top spot in the Eurovision Song Contest.
A news agency said it had videotaped a meeting where two Russian-speaking men offered money to Lithuanians for their votes in favour of the Azerbaijan contestant. A group of students also claimed to have been approached by men who offered them 20 each to vote multiple times for a contestant.
Those recruited were given SIM-cards to vote as many times as possible within 15 minutes. A supervisor was assigned to every group to check the results and give the payment.
