No evidence of illegal interference was found concerning last month's DHL plane crash in Lithuania, authorities reported on Friday.
A preliminary conclusion was reached after an examination in Germany of the flight recorders, which were recovered several days after the crash on 25 November that claimed the lives of one of the four crew members.
"Preliminary analysis of the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder, together with evidence gathered at the crash site, revealed no evidence of illegal interference," the Lithuanian Ministry of Justice said in a statement.
The Prosecutor General's Office said in a separate statement on Friday that the criminal investigation "has not ruled out any version of the accident".
The plane, coming from the German city of Leipzig, crashed at the end of November about a kilometre from Vilnius airport, hitting several buildings. At the time, local police stated that a terrorist attack could not be ruled out, although they believed the crash to most likely be due to a technical or human error.
According to prosecutors, 16 people whose houses were burnt down following the accident have been officially recognised as victims. The Spanish pilot of the aircraft was killed in the accident. Another Spaniard, a German and a Lithuanian crew member were injured.
The police said they were continuing to analyse the objects seized, the flight data and the circumstances of the incident, including the damage caused to human health, property and the environment.
