Gifts worth 400,000 from father in Russia… Stepaņenko under KNAB scrutiny

The Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau will assess information about the large monetary gifts to his daughter from the father of Jūlija Stepaņenko, the prime ministerial candidate of the party alliance 'Sovereign Power/Association of New Latvians', who lives in Russia. It is publicly known that Riga City Council deputy Ģirts Lapiņš (NA) has turned to KNAB with a submission asking to assess whether, upon receiving money from her father who lives in Russia, the law 'On Prevention of Conflict of Interest in Activities of State Officials' has been observed. He has also asked to assess whether these funds have been used to finance pre-election campaigning contrary to the law, and whether Stepaņenko is not receiving money through her father to 'sponsor her campaign and create a Russia-friendly policy in Latvia'.

Tensions in global oil markets are already echoing in the wallets of Latvian residents and the costs of enterprises. We must not wait.

Strong probation means fewer repeat offences, fewer victims and a safer society. Probation is based on the belief that people can change. If they are ready to take responsibility and start anew, the state must give them a real opportunity to do so — providing not only supervision but also support on the way back into society. The results of the State Probation Service confirm its importance: 🔹 in 2025, the service handled almost 15,000 cases; 🔹 probation clients worked 293,521 hours of community service, generating approximately €1.26 million of benefit for society; 🔹 importantly, one day of probation costs the state an average of €4.15 per person, while a day in prison costs €62.08. Timely engagement with children and young people is especially important. Early and individual support can help change behaviour before offences become repeated. At the same time, the service itself must be strengthened. Staff workload is growing, so it is necessary to improve work organisation, attract new specialists and continue the digitalisation of processes. To reduce administrative burden, the service has already identified 169 specific measures so that specialists have more time to work with people. Thank you to the @probacija team for the work that every day helps make Latvia safer. 🇱🇻🤝
