On Friday, 29 September, VDD has initiated a criminal case against the former politician Andrejs Mamikins for allegedly glorifying and justifying the crimes committed by the aggressor state Russia in Ukraine.
The criminal case against A. Mamikins has been initiated pursuant to Section 741 of the Criminal Law, after VDD evaluated the person's recent statements in the broadcasts of several Russian TV channels loyal to the Kremlin, as well as on social networking sites. VDD has found statements made by A. Mamikins, which, in the service's assessment, support and glorify the war started by Russia in Ukraine.
VDD will provide additional information regarding the investigation process according to the progress of the criminal case. The service recalls that no person should be considered guilty until their guilt is proven in accordance with law.
