It will be decided to waive Ushakov’s parliamentary immunity in order to prosecute

by

Today, the EP plenary session began with a report on how the Latvian law enforcement authorities are requesting the waiver of the parliamentary immunity for Ushakov. Mr Nagla explained that the decision to waive immunity would then be taken to the EP’s Committee on Legal Affairs, where the Member himself would be heard.

Ushakov’s lawyer Viktor Tikhonov expressed confusion as to why the person being heard had become the “culprit”. “This is a conversation that we also want to stimulate in the EP, if the prosecutor’s office insists on it, namely why he has not been recognized as a victim,” Tikhonov told Panorama.

Following the hearing of Ushakov, the EP’s Committee on Legal Affairs will agree in camera on a recommendation to the EP to either approve or indicate this request. This will be followed by a vote in the EP.

After the waiver of immunity, Ušakovs would retain the powers of an MEP, as they have been granted to him by the Latvian state as a Member of the European Parliament, and no other institution can take them away. Such requests for the waiver of parliamentary immunity are frequently received by the EP, for example, during the last parliamentary term, the EP was asked to waive parliamentary immunity 55 times, and in 49 cases the EP granted these requests.

It has already been reported that in January 2019, the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) in the office of Ushakov in the Riga City Council removed a device to be used for special operational measures.

Later, the KNAB prompted the Prosecutor General’s Office to accuse the former mayor of Riga himself of possession of the prohibited video surveillance device under consideration for this book.

The KNAB’s previously circulated statement did not mention the person’s name, but the bureau stated that according to the criminal case file, the person had stored a device of strategic importance in his office for special operational activities, namely video documentation and covert audio information.

It is forbidden for individuals to purchase, store or use this type of device. The device has been disguised as another object that visually resembles an album or a book.
