Latvian State Revenue Service (VID) found only minor violations in the income declaration submitted by Mayor of Daugavpils Andrejs Elksniņš for the year 2021. This means the administrative violation procedure initiated against him will be ended with a reprimand directed at him, as reported by VID representatives.
No violations were found during the inspection of Elksniņš’s state official’s declaration for 2022.
As previously reported, claims about the mayor’s alleged luxurious lifestyle caught the attention of VID. Investigation of possible crimes of corruption is the responsibility of the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB), not VID.
In November 2023 KNAB and VID announced they would look into the publication from journalists about the mayor’s alleged luxurious lifestyle.
The State Security Service was informed of this publication as well, but the institution refrained from making any comments.
