Human rights must be protected – always and everywhere! Chairman of the “Justice for Inara” committee

Opening address

Mrs. Inara Vilkaste, Latvian businesswoman with more than 20 years of experience, 2013.

I don’t want to be afraid. And I don’t want my chil-dren to be afraid for their lives and looking over their backs all the time. Therefore I took this fight out of the borders of my country. For the sake of my family and any other citizen of Latvia so that nobody experiences the same as that which I am experiencing.

“In 2015 Latvia will undertake the European Union presidency. Latvia has been a European Union member state for ten years already and it is officially considered a democratic country. With increasing frequency, there are the facts emerging, testifying that the Latvian law-enforce-ment system fails to comply with European standards.

Since 2005 the life of Latvian businesswoman Inara Vilkaste reminds one of a nightmare: threats, deliberate arson, a disappeared lawyer and hundreds of summons to court, reminiscent of Kafka’s “Process”. Everything is clear for Inara Vilkaste and her family: she is being intimidated by the corrupt representatives of state administration authorities. More and more people across all of Europe are learning about the actions of Latvian authorities with indignation; representa-tives of the “Justice for Inara” committee are also among these people.

The purpose of the Committee is to provide proof that Inara Vilkaste and her family have become vic-tims of the corrupt officials of public authorities.The Committee carries out international information campaigns and explanatory work, meets the public, as well as provides legal support for taking measures in courts.

“This is a war launched against me and my family. However, I don’t give up and I continue to protect my right for life”.

Inara Vilkaste

“Inara Vilkaste’s case is a shame on Europe. The human rights violation threatens democracy. This is why we fight for justice”.

Dr. Walter Schwimmer

The committee is active in Europe.

Dr. Walter Schwimmer,former member of the Austrian Parliament andSecretary General of the Council of Europe.

Heart of the matter of Inara Vilkaste’s and Vladimir Vaskevic’s Family

This matter in its substance is a criminal and political prosecution of the successful Latvian businesswoman Inara Vilkaste and her husband – Vladimir Vaskevic, ex-director of the Customs Criminal Board and deputy director general of the State Revenue Service.

This prosecution is carried out by a group consisting of criminals, the staff of intelligence services and politicians. Contacts in various law enforcement bodies and other illegal means are used. Intelligence services and politicians, being covered with slogans of combating corruption, are trying to deal with political opponents and undesirable persons at any cost.

The Latvian laws and system as a whole is working against Mrs. Vilkaste and Mr. Vaskevic. In relation to them, since 2004 a “fishing expedition” has been carried out including tracing, eavesdropping, il-legal searches on the application of criminals and agents of intelligence services with the purpose of getting any material to fabricate processes and denigrate reputations.

Concerning the above-mentioned situation Mrs. Vilkaste has applied to Latvian law enforcement agencies one hundred times and even to the Prime Minister and to the President, but a reaction still has not followed. At the mo-ment her last hope is the European Court of Human Rights and the European community. Mrs. Vilkaste and Mr. Vaskevic are sure that officials, politicians and law enforcement agencies in no state should have an opportunity to use the system against persons undesirable for them.

In order to prove the above statements, we have collected and submit for your attention the most important docu-ments and facts. There are thousands of documents and pieces of evidence therefore if you have any questions or doubts, please, address the “Justice for Inara” committee, we will provide you with the necessary information.

The basic rule of democracy – rule of law over the person

Since 2006 our family has been involved in more than 150 criminal and civil proceedings. All of them are based on false statements and testimonies of the same people. The initiators of the fabricated proceedings are the same officials from intelligence services.

6

In 2004 Latvia was going to accede to the European Union (EU) and three years later – to the Schengen area. The safety of the Latvian border, which has also become an EU exter-nal border, has turned out to be a task of strategic importance.

The emphasis was placed on combating smuggling, and Vladimir Vaskevic successfully executed this process and managed it. From 2004 to 2006 a new structural unit of the central office of the State Revenue Service (SRS) was created – the Customs Board of Criminal Investigations. It has ensured centralised control and the carrying out of investi-gations for combating smuggling by means of a method of analytical intelligence, which is completely opposite to the situation taking place when the functions of at least six various departments and law enforcement agencies overlap, and thus nobody is responsi-ble for the result. The efficiency of these reforms was reflected in the Latvian press from 2001 to 2006. Beforehand, in the absence of transparency, there was an opportunity to avoid responsibility, and the corruption risks increased.

Before the events of 2012-2013 Inara Vilkaste was convinced that the prosecution of her family had an particularly brutal background: by exerting enormous pressure on her and the father of her children V. Vaskevic, the criminals and their associates from intelligence services simply deprived her of the money earned in 2005. In 2006 extortionists and in-formants from KNAB, by using threats, tried to get more than 7 million euros from I. Vilkaste. However, further events demonstrated that the persecution of the family is based on a complex interlacing of interests of the corrupt politicians, their allies from intelligence services and the criminals. In addition to the desire of the extortionists to get money from I. Vilkaste, the group of officers of intelligence services and politicians have had an urgent need to eradicate V. Vaskevic, who has conducted reforms in the SRS area which to a large extent have been detrimental to the illegal economy. Inter-ests of intelligence services, politicians and crime have a joint purpose of destroying Mr. Vaskevic for his professional activity, and I. Vilkaste has been chosen as a tool.

How did everything begin?

2006 when the nightmare began. In this year there was an explosion of my house, an attempt to kidnap my daughter, arson of the car of Mr. Vaskevic. At last the criminals, using the protection of corrupt staff of intelligence services assumed the direct extortion of a huge sum of money from me. After I appealed to the police and the criminal acts were temporarily suspended, intelligence services decided to use the extortionist in other ways. Hundreds of fraudulent statements and testimonies of the extortionist have formed the basis of uncount-able trials against me and Vladimir.

In 2007 when it became clear that the intelligence services and criminals would not get any money, an attempted murder of V. Vaskevic with his parallel discrediting and elimination from key posts was made. At this moment the point of no return was passed.

V. Vaskevic was to be eliminated physically in 2004, before the accession of Latvia into the EU and before the introduction of his reforms in the State Revenue Service; however the desire to divest money from I. Vilkaste out-weighed it.

It is very important to understand that long-term persecution, unfounded charges and the distribution of a frank lie under the slogan of the “fight against corruption” is also an attempt to evade responsibility for the multimillion extortion organised by gangsters, special services and further supported by politicians.

By the way, Vyacheslav Liscov, the predecessor and former colleague of Vaskevic, the chief of the Latgale Regional Of-fice of the State Revenue Service was killed in 2001, and subsequently, in 2010 Ainars Platacis, the defence lawyer of V. Vaskevic and I. Vilkaste disappeared without a trace. These crimes are still not disclosed.

V. Vaskevic. Implemented the 1st stage of the plan of reorganisa-tion. The Customs Board of Criminal Investigations is created at the SRS.

The desire to divest money from I. Vilkaste is so great that for a while they have forgotten V. Vaskevic.

The aspiration to annihilate Mr. Vaskevic professionally and even better – physically – has been linked to his successful professional activity, which has blocked multimillion cash flows of the shadow economy.

I. Vilkaste tells journalists about the prosecution, 2011.

The destruction of Mr. Vaskevic was the main target. Since the party concerned could not remove him and affect his decisions, another strategy was chosen - total discrediting with the purpose to reduce his influence and eventually displace Mr. Vaskevic from the position of head of the Customs Criminal Board and Deputy Direc-tor of the State Revenue Service. Fabricated trials with closed sessions followed, at the same time biased informa-tion was leaked to the press for manipulation with public opinion.

For the achievement of the purpose all the means appeared to be good. Even the torture and beating of Mr. Vaskevic during detention, and also the extortion of false testimonies from different persons against V. Vaskevic and I. Vilkaste under the threat of punishment.

Mrs. Vilkaste in many cases cannot disclose the names of witnesses and of the people who help her. There are too many examples when the system under the guise of law and using its administrative resources has persecuted or exerted pressure on unrelated people.

Results of the prosecution of V. Vaskevic are obvious. Everything possible is undertaken now to return the system of combating smuggling and organised crime to the initial condition in which it was before 2002. Decentralisation of functions is taking place. Thus, we clearly see how criminals are using the current situation for their own benefit, and some politicians are covering them.

The success of the new system was obvious. This new initiative worked in favour of the state. However it didn’t bring anything good to certain “pockets”. It caused dissatisfaction as it reduced the power and influence received earlier, and also led to a sharp reduc-tion in illegal income. The situation became even more difficult when in February 2009 the change of governing political forces took place.

The new political party “Unity” (Vienotība, at that time – Jaunais Laiks/Modern times) came to power under the combating corrup-tion slogan which, generally was only a cover to justify their desire to deal with leaders and officials of the previous ruling party. Mr. Vaskevic appeared among them – the previous results and achieve-ments of combating smuggling and organised crime were of no value any more.

21.05.07 Car explosion. Attempted murder of V. Vaskevic at an entrance to the building of the Customs Criminal Board

The terror of the last eight years is the reply of a group of people from intelligence services, politicians and criminals, for the refusal to make a compromise with a conscience and to agree with the demands of the extortionists. At some instant the interests of the above-men-tioned persons coincided. As a result all of this turned into a situation, which must not exist in Europe, or any democratic country: when a small group of people are using the system (the state resource) for the purpose of doing away with undesirable persons.

SHORT BIOVladimir Vaskevic

21.11.2012 (with I. Vilkaste and V. Vaskevic being absent, lawyers were denied being present too) KNAB employees con-ducted a search at I. Vilkaste’s house.During the search a document – customs senior inspector certificate as of 1988 was seized. Later on 7 January 2013 a representative of the Central district court declared the search was illegal. Answering multiple requests of lawyers to return seized items, including the customs senior inspector certificate, KNAB investigator R. Kuzma answered that this document was returned to its owner. So a part of V. Vaskevic’s life and one page of Latvian history were erased.

Vladimir Vaskevic worked for the Latvian Customs in the State Revenue Service (SRS) and Ministry of Finance of independent Latvia from 1991 (from 1988 till 1991 he worked at USSR Customs).

V. Vaskevic. Beginning of his career in the state administration - 1988

from 2000 – Head of the Customs Group of the Smuggling Combating Centre,from April 2001 – Head of the Smuggling Combating Centre of the SRS,from June 2002 – Director of the SRS Customs Criminal Board,from March 2005 worked both as Director of the Customs Criminal Board and Deputy Director General of the SRS (supervising the Financial police board, combating smuggling (including drugs), tax crimes, money laun-dering and smuggling inside the SRS),September 2008 – SRS Deputy Director (managing strategy development and staff matters),March 2010 – Deputy Director of the Tax and Customs Policy Department at the Ministry of Finance,in February, 2011 it was displaced from a position in the Ministry of Finance (following the results of the parliamentary elections in 2011 the new political party “Vienotība” acquired the right to form the govern-ment, after which there was a redistribution of the spheres of influence in the economy and policy).

Took the following significant posts:

From 2000 till 2010 held different positions in the SRS and Ministry of Finance system, created and ruled a combating scheme against smuggling, customs and tax crimes, money laundering and corrup-tion within the SRS. Besides this, the fight against corruption within the SRS was also an area of his responsibility. Primary functions of the Customs Criminal Board and Financial police Board were com-bating illegal drug traffic, organised crime and money laundering.

From May 2004 till the middle of 2006, using the experience of EU countries (Sweden, Great Britain, Germany, Finland, Austria and Lithuania), created a new law-enforcement structure – Customs Criminal Board, which for the first time in Latvia applied the “Intel-ligence method”, that is the “analytic intelligence method” well-known in European countries and EUROPOL. But the most impor-tant thing is that this system greatly minimised the risk of corruption, the human factor role during the collection, systematisation, analysis and spreading of information. The Customs Criminal Board became a significant element in the new system of combating smuggling in the SRS.

From April 2005 till the middle of 2007 he prepared a plan, reorganised and applied a new structure – Fi-nancial Police Board, made changes for the purpose of achieving great progress in the results of combating money laundering and strengthening combating against corruption within the SRS (according to the Law “on the SRS” combating corruption within the SRS is within the competence of the Financial police Board”). He instituted the same method of analytic intelligence, as it was in the Customs Criminal Board in the centralised structure of the Financial Police Board.

SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVMENTSVladimir Vaskevic

V. Vaskevic created an effective system for combating smuggling.

From October 2008 till February 200 according to the task of the SRS Director General, he prepared a project for a new SRS structure and a detailed plan for SRS reorganisation. The new structure was based on three main basics: centralisation of functions, decreasing the number of employees and minimising the risk of corruption within the SRS.

According to the change of political management of the Ministry of Finance and the State, in autumn 2009 he was dismissed from his position in the SRS and failed to finish the reorganisation of the SRS for this reason.

Important events in the life of V. Vaskevic

Aigar Sparans (employee of the Constitution Protection Bureau, SAB) through R. Laz-dins, adviser to the prime minister, offered V. Vaskevic protection against criminals (a criminal ‘roof’).At that time V. Vaskevic didn’t understand what he was talking about, and stopped their conversation. A month later the acts of terror followed.

A car of Mr. Vaskevic was set on fire by the employee of intelligence serv-ice E. Gulbis and the KNAB informant R. Štalbergs.

Attempted kidnapping of the youngest daughter of V. Vaskevic.

The state of health of Mr. Vaskevic sharply worsened. Despite the application on process consideration in videoconference mode, a public prosecutor of the Republic of Latvia once again requested changing his measure of restraint and to apply arrest.

A security measure – arrest - was applied to Mr. Vaskevic. When imprisoned in the Cen-tral Prison, he was subject to psychological pressure and threats, medical assistance was denied to him. Being afraid for his life and health, and also for the safety of his family, Mr. Vaskevic did not make any complaints about the torture and forbade his lawyers from do-ing so. He was released on bail on 25 March 2011.

Mr. Vaskevic was dismissed from his position and deprived of a means of subsistence. And this has taken place after he has worked for the State for more than 25 years.

Mr. Vaskevic, together with his daughter, departed to have a rest in Austria (with the court’s permission). In Austria his health sharply deteriorated, he was hospitalised, an urgent operation was performed. Treatment and rehabilitation in Austria is taking place up to now (2014).

In KNAB a new fabricated criminal proceedings against Mr. Vaskevic was initiated.

An SMS comes to the phone of Mr. Vaskevic’s daughter threatening to blow up the entire family. An application is submitted to the Latvian police. The case is not investigated.

KNAB launched new fabricated criminal proceedings against Mr. Vaskevic.

A complaint was submitted to the ECHR about the right to a fair trial and consideration of the case at an open session. The process against V. Vaskevic was inaccessible to the public (closed sessions).

Attempted murder of Vladimir Vaskevic

21.05.2007.

I conduct operational activity... Nobody above is aware any more what do I do and do not do. (E. Gulbis – from the materials of the criminal case about the attempted murder of V. Vaskevic)

Initial data confirmed a link of the operative officer of the Constitution Protection Bureau (SAB) Aigars Sparans, the Head of KNAB Operative Work Juris Jurass, the employee of the Saeima and the State President Security Service Edgars Gulbis and the offender having a criminal record Raimonds Stalbergs with this crime, however these characters one after another “disappeared” from the criminal case.

Printouts of information queries specify that only three hours before the explosion – on 21 May at 14:21 – the KNAB officer Vilis Arajs under the username of “varajs1637” requested GPRS data of V. Vaskevic’s location.

In the materials of the criminal case there are the witness testimonies about the fact that only a few minutes after the explo-sion the SAB officer Aigars Sparans appeared on the crime scene who immediately came into the territory limited by police tape.

The disappearance and possible murder of Ainars Platacis, the lawyer of V. Vaskevic, is not disclosed yet, the real organisers of the extortion of millions are still not named and sentenced, which took place in 2004-2007 under the “roof” of representatives of the Latvian intelligence services who, in turn, were and still are trusted by many leading politicians. Therefore, the question arises as to whether the organisers and performers of the attempted murder of V. Vaskevic will stay unexposed and unpunished, with others “serving their time” instead of them.

V. Vaskevic in 2013: about meeting the SAB officer A. Sparans organised by R. Lazdins in May 2006, after the attempted kidnapping of his daughter.

Statistics of persecutionPersecution is proven

KNAB beyond the scope of its jurisdiction initiates proceedings against the 72-year-old housemaid of Inara Vilkaste. She was afraid to open the door to the KNAB officers in 2008. The court case lasts 6 years. Judicial proceedings are not finished.(Nina is 78 years old)

All the criminal proceedings against Mrs. Vilkaste and her fam-ily have been launched on the basis of charges from an offender with a criminal record, extortionist and KNAB informant. At the same time law enforcement agencies do not react to any statements or inquiries of Mrs. Vilkaste therefore she is de-prived of the opportunity to defend herself.

• Prior to 2006 Inara had no prior dealings with any law enforcement agencies and was not engaged with/by the in any capacity.

• In 2006, becomes the subject of criminal extortion, unprecedented psychological pressure and threats:

• May 15, 2006 – Minibus loaded with gas tanks driven into gates of Inara Vilkaste’s house, minibus has exploded (fireman was seriously injured as a result)

• May 15, 2006 also there was a kidnap attempt of her younger daughter

• 28 june, 2006 Vladimir Vaskevics’ car was subject of arson attack

• on 29th of September 2006, fabricated pornographic photos with the face of younger daughter were distributed

• statement to Police on extortion and threats

• It soon became apparent that the extortionist has the support of certain officials of the Corruption Prevention Bureau and Combating Bureau (KNAB) - a public institution with broad, practically (almost) uncontrollable powers, whose criminal interests are affected by V. Vashkevich as a result of his Service (position). Collecting compromising materials on him, KNAB have developed vested interest in the activities of his former wife.

• Nothing else can explain the following fact:

• during the period of 2005-2007 I.Vilkastes’ telephone conversations were tapped, 817 inquiries were sent to various organizations about her, her activities and her children from 55 units of special services and law enforcement agencies.

• From 2006 to 2012, I. Vilkaste has been FORCED TO TAKE PART in 50 CRIMINAL and about 100 CIVIL Procedings, initiated in Republic of Latvia

• From 2006 to 2012 she has attended 301 court hearings(?) and was summoned to law enforcement agencies 125 times as a witness.

• In the same period a ‘black PR’ campaign hit television, internet publications and other sources of Latvian mass media, resulting in 2755 separate texts and stories of negative content, discrediting and humiliating I.Vilkaste

• 2nd October, 2007 – KNAB performs a search of I.Vilkastes house

• 23rd May, 2008 – KNAB performs a search of I.Vilkastes house

• 23rd May,, 2010 I.Vilkastes and V.Vashkevich defence lawyer disappears (is missing till this day)

• There are reasons to believe that, not only Inara Vilkastes psychological state and material well-being (?) are under threat, but also her physical safety.

• requests and complaints to law enforcement and governance structures, including the President of LR, Ombudsman, KNAB and Prosecutor General, but received no substantive response.

• All means to receive justice in Republic of Latvia have been exhausted. Therefore Inara seeks help in the European Court of Human Rights.

Dr. Elisabeth RechRechtsanwalt

Kärntner Ring 4, 1010 WienSworn advocate Aloizs Vaznis

«A.P. un Partneri», 34 Duntes Street, Riga, LV-1005 Riga, August 2013

Dear colleague!I received your letter on 7 August. I am in a hurry to answer the questions of interest to you.

1) In criminal case No. 15830110704 which was initiated on 5 November 2004, in 2006-2007 Mr. Krauze, the public prosecutor of the specialised Prosecutor›s office for Matters of Organised Crime and other sectors, when interrogating Vladimirs Oderovs, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of LLC “OVI”, repeatedly offered Mr. Oderovs to give testimony against Vladimir Vaskevic, the Director of the Customs Criminal Board and the Deputy Director of the State Revenue Service, that he promoted the import of smuggled goods into the territory of the Republic of Latvia, otherwise he threatened to arrest Mr. Oderovs.

When Mr. Oderovs brought to his notice that he had no materials compromising Vladimir Vaskevic at his disposal, Mr. Krauze put his threats into effect and suggested the court arrest Mr. Oderovs, however the court rejected his arrest.As a result Mr. Krauze has launched four criminal cases against Mr. Oderovs.In one case of bribery Mr. Oderovs has been acquitted in all three instances, in another – acquitted in the court of the first instance.Two other matters are subject to adjudication in court.Mr. Oderovs has repeatedly complained of biased and unreasonable repression both to the prosecutor›s office, and to the prime minister.In all four criminal cases I as a sworn advocate have defended Vladimirs Oderovs.

2) The police major Ruslans Dervans, officer of the Central Board of Criminal Police of the State Police, has successfully directed the work of the police on the exposure of Raimonds Stalbergs, as well as of Mr. Gulbis, officer of the Parliament and the President Security Service, who together with Raimonds Stalbergs committed criminal acts against Vladimir Vaskevic. Currently Raimonds Stalbergs is sentenced to deprivation of liberty by the court of the first instance for the extortion of 7.5 million lats from the businesswoman Inara Vilkaste. R. Stalbergs is still at large, covered by KNAB, and poses a real threat.Since Ruslans Dervans has had no information regarding the allegedly illegal activities of Vladimir Vaskevic and Inara Vilkaste, KNAB officers have started to repress him – carried out a search in his place of residence and work, discredited Dervans in telecasts and the press as a bribe taker, carried out searches in his car and his wife’s car, interrogated his relatives and fellow workers, eavesdropped telephone conversations of Dervans.

On 10 October 2007 at night, an unknown criminal got into a paid car park where Ruslans Dervans and his wife parked their personal cars, crept under Dervans› car and did something. The criminal was disturbed by the security guard of the paid car park and escaped, on the run having thrown away a sheet with the numbers of Dervans› car and its location in the car park, and also flat pliers. On 11 October 2007 the Central Police Board of Riga initiated criminal proceedings regarding the said fact under the criminal law section about the signs of the attempted murder of the Dervans family.

Dear Dr. Elisabeth RechRechtsanwalt

A-1010 Wien,Kärntner Ring 4

Riga, 17 October 2013

Responding to your letter dated 31 July 2013, I want to explain the following to you:

1) I have been the defence lawyer (advocate) of Arkadijs Fjodorovs since December 2008, and I realise his defence in criminal proceedings No. 11517024608, which has been initiated in accordance with Section 200, Paragraph one of the Latvian Criminal Law;

2) during this period of time since 2008 and until this day the persons introducing themselves as employees of the Latvian Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau have repeatedly addressed my client Arkadijs Fjodorovs and suggested to give denigrating testimonies against Vladimir Vaskevic and his wife Inara Vilkaste, in exchange, promising illegal help to avoid responsibility for the criminal act incriminated to him;

3) Arkadijs Fjodorovs has declined such obviously illegal offers and «cooperation».

I consider that the prosecution of my client Arkadijs Fjodorovs constitutes a part of the general campaign conducted against Vladimir Vaskevic and his wife Inara Vilkaste with the purpose of carrying out their illegal criminal prosecution and illegal conviction on the basis of fabricated materials.

Yours faithfully /signature/ Juris Dzelme

from S. VarpinsExtortion of a testimony

from Mr. Ryazansky

On 17.10.2008 I was detained by KNAB officers and placed in the State Police temporary detention isolation ward (TDC), the address of which is: Gaujas Street...

On 19.10.2008 at approximately 9:00 2 KNAB officers arrived to the TDC for me, who had to escort me to court where the question of the selection of a measure of restraint had to be adjudicated for me.

After we got into the car, one of the accompanying persons introduced himself as the KNAB operative officer Andzejs Klavins (Andžejs Kļaviņš). The second accompanying person did not introduce himself but I remember him well since he has participated in my detention and constantly escorted me.

Klavins took the seat at the wheel of the car and called. After the call he told me that the court was appointed at 12:00, and suggested to me to go and have a coffee with him and talk. We went to a Statoil gas station, the address of which is: Valdemara Street...

During our conversation A. Klavins began to be interested in what business I was engaged in. I said that I was the owner of «SIA Konkordija-AB» which is engaged in the forwarding of freight.

Klavins asked me at once, whether I knew V. Vaskevic and what relations I had with him. I answered that I knew V. Vaskevic as a Riga Customs officer and communicated with him as with the representative of customs, which controlled our activities related to the transit of freight in the territory of Latvia. Further A. Klavins asked whether V. Vaskevic had extorted money from me or my acquaintances for the settlement of any affairs, and also for «protection». I answered that I knew nothing about such facts. Then A. Klavins proposed me to write a submission to KNAB that I was aware that V. Vaskevic was engaged in the «protection» of smuggling schemes and received bribes for terminating criminal cases. For writing such a submission, he promised me that they would select the measure of restraint not involving imprisonment for me, and also release me from criminal liability for the allegedly committed crime for which I was detained. I in a categorical manner refused to write an obviously false statement, explaining to A. Klavins that it was a crime. Nevertheless, A. Klavins continued to convince me that V. Vaskevic was a bad lot, bribe-taker and a corrupt official. A. Klavins also declared that he, being the senior of the KNAB task force, considered V. Vaskevic to be his personal enemy and would do everything to put him in prison. However, despite his requests and promises, I disagreed even to write a submission regarding the facts allegedly known to me about third parties that V. Vaskevic had demanded and received bribes. Here was our conversation in brief, which took place with A. Klavins over a cup of coffee in the car at Statoil gas station. During the conversation which lasted about 1 hour, handcuffs were not taken off of me, A. Klavins was not interested at all in my case, for which I had been detained and in which I had been a suspect. The second KNAB officer didn’t participate in conversation.

At approximately 11:20 I was delivered to court, and there at the request of the KNAB investigator L. Sikore a measure of restraint – arrest and imprisonment was selected for me. After 50 days (on 04.12.2008) I was released from prison under police surveillance.

In January 2009, in Old Riga I met V. Vaskevic by chance and told him about the above described events.
