The Prosecutor’s Office has charged two officials from the State Revenue Service’s (VID) Tax and Customs Police Department with embezzling funds allocated for operational activities.
According to last year’s annual report from the Prosecutor’s Office, the VID employees have been prosecuted for fraud, embezzlement, and official document forgery. After receiving orders, they requested funds intended for operational activities but misused and appropriated the money. They also falsified documents to claim payment for overtime hours they had not actually worked.
Expanding on the information in the report, the Prosecutor’s Office told the LETA news agency that the total amount of money obtained illegally was approximately 1 500 euros.
The case is currently in court, but it is being handled under a classified regime as it contains state secrets. Therefore, no further details will be disclosed.
