Riga City Council does not possess information if the head of the Department for Spatial Planning and Mobility Jānis Vaivods is detained, as journalists were told by Mayor of Riga Vilnis Ķirsis.
The department appointed Rudīte Reveliņa as the acting head of this department.
Ķirsis says his office contacted the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) today to inquire about the situation with investigative actions in the department.
KNAB has yet to report any information about the reason behind investigative actions at the department, the criminal procedure, Vaivods’ possible detainment or for how long he will remain absent.
The capital city’s executive director Jānis Lange does not have any information about this either.
According to Ķirsis, Reveliņa was appointed as the department’s acting director to ensure the continuity of the department’s work.
As previously reported KNAB performed investigative actions at Riga City Council Department for Spatial Planning and Mobility in the morning on Monday, the 26th of February, as part of a criminal procedure initiated in January.
