Latvia: Corruption watchdog investigating Latvijas Pasts

Latvia’s Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) has carried out probes at the state-owned postal company, Latvijas Pasts, LETA reports. KNAB refused to provide further information about the ongoing investigation. The agency stressed that there were no criminal proceedings involving employees of Latvijas Pasts currently. Marcis Vilcans, board chairman of Latvijas Pasts, said that the company’s board had asked law enforcement authorities to verify certain information following an alert. Latvijas Pasts would not provide more information so as not to impact the investigation, however.
