On 9 June 2025, Latvian State Security Service (VDD) initiated criminal case against Member of the Saeima Aleksejs Rosļikovs on suspicion of providing assistance to the aggressor state Russia in action directed against Latvia and triggering of national hatred and enmity.
VDD initiated the criminal case after assessing A. Rosļikovs' statements during the Saeima plenary sitting on 5 June, as well as other recent activities. In the Member’s previous activity, VDD has identified elements of the criminal offences stipulated in Section 811 and Section 78 of the Criminal Law, i.e., assistance to a foreign state in action directed against the Republic of Latvia and triggering of national hatred and enmity.
VDD has already previously held several preventive talks with the leader of the political party "For Stability!", warning about the expected criminal liability in the event of committing criminal offences.
VDD reiterates that no person shall be considered guilty until the guilt of such person has been determined in accordance with the procedures laid down in law.
