Latvian Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau has begun an inspection in relation to information stated in the declaration submitted by the governor of the Bank of Latvia Ilmars Rimsevics.

According to KNAB press-representative Laura Dusa, the bureau plans to assess the declaration for 2015 submitted by Ilmars Rimsevics to check if the document contains information that would breach regulations of the Law on Prevention of Conflict of Interest in Activities of Public Officials.

Last week, at a meeting of Saeima’s Corruption Prevention Sub-committee, deputy Karlis Serzants said Ilmars Rimsevics’ declaration could serve as an appropriate example to allow KNAB to perform inspections of officials’ declarations. In his declaration, Rimsevics stated income from ‘renting out’ his apartment.

Candidacy for the CPCB head post is Strelchenok’s decision; politicians did not motivate him

Contradictory head of the CPCB argues that it is his decision to apply for the second term.

The current Chief of Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau Yaroslav Strelchenok, whose term ends in November, promises to take part in the personnel selection process for this post. He says it is his own decision – no party or politicians have encouraged him to become a candidate.

Criteria for new Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau chief approved

The Cabinet of Ministers of Latvia has approved criteria for the new chief for CPCB (KNAB).
After current chief Jaroslavs Streļčenoks began his first term in 2011, many discussions and conflicts have found place within organization and the media. Streļčenoks has said he will apply for the next term.
Although Cabinet of Ministers approved the criteria for the next chief, one of NGO’s - ’’Delna’’ has raised concerns around criteria and the point system. They claim it favours too much the current chief.
