The prosecutor’s office has accused Rimsevich that he organized and led the witness illegal impression.

Tabor, on the other hand, is accused of illegally affected by a witness promising a remuneration. This has been done in order to make the witness abandoned the testimony of the previously at a legal proceedings in the criminal proceedings and give other testimonies that are false but favorable to the accused.

According to the indictment, it has been found that both accused persons were threatened by the interests of jurisdiction with their actions.

The prosecutor’s office told LETA earlier that the set of information obtained in the criminal case has fully confirmed the guilty of the accused person of the accused in committing the crime, which provides the basis for maintaining state accusations to the court.

Both defendants do not admit their guilt.

According to TV3, the prosecutor’s office is charged with the fact that Tabor, with Rimsevich’s news witness, former shareholder of Trasta komercbanka, has offered € 20,000 for a change in criminal case where Rimsevich is accused of making a bribe. Buimister has asked to increase the reward.

Tabor has coordinated increasing the compensation with Rimsevich. Later agreed for € 30,000. Half – 15,000 euros – in advance after the corrected Buimister’s testimony is strengthened at the notary and the other half – testing in the institutions. The parties were not able to implement this plan because of Buimisters were taken to hospital on August 8, 2021 and later died, TV3 News said.

The case was initially a third party, but the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) ended the criminal proceedings against the criminal proceedings due to the lack of a criminal offense.

LETA previously reported that Buimister was one of Rimsevich’s main witnesses at the present case in the case in which Rimsevich and businessman Maris Martinsons were accused.

Rimsevich sentenced the first instance to a six -year prison court, as well as monitoring probation for one year. The court also set Rimsevich’s confiscation of property, including confiscating him several real estate in Garkalne County, apartment in Jurmala and property in Ventspils region.

The contractor Martinson, who was sentenced to five years in prison, was also guilty of being guilty of recovering more than 150,000 euros from him. For Martinson’s MM Investment company, a forcing agent, ie it will be $ 3.1 million.

The judgment was appealed and is now considered by the Riga Regional Court.

In February 2018, the KNAB detained Rimsevich and businessman Martinson. The Prosecutor General’s Office was charged with bribery, and Martinson was charged with supporting bribery.

Rimsevich is accused of accepting a bribe -paid recreational trip, as well as accepting a bribe – money. He is also accused of laundering money.

The case supervisor Viorika Jirgen said earlier that the KNAB had begun the case following a representative of two « Trasta komercbanka », in which they were both in the case as bribery, but were released from criminal liability for voluntarily appealing to law enforcement agencies. LETA is aware that these persons are former board member of Trasta komercbanka Viktors Ziemelis and former shareholder Buimister.

Jirgen previously said that one of the shareholders had approached Rimsevich in 2010, asking for help with the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC), offering Rimsevich a paid holiday trip to Kamchatka in exchange. In 2012, this shareholder, together with another, re -appealed to Rimsevich, asking for help on other issues regarding the FCMC. As a payment, Rimsevich has claimed € 500,000, which would be paid in two parts – one before and one after the FCMC’s decision.

The prosecutor previously emphasized that after the 2010 agreement, Rimsevich has repeatedly advised a shareholder of Trasta komercbanka, thus trying to influence the FCMC’s decisions. This type of consultation has been provided after the 2012 agreement, but although Rimsevich has succeeded in influencing the FCMC to make decisions that seem to have been favorable to the « Trasta komercbanka », at the same time, they also adverse.

As one of the types of assistance Rimsevich has provided, the prosecutor mentioned the assistance in preparing the answers to the questions asked by the FCMC regarding the questions of the bank’s liquidity and non -resident questions.

Jirgena also explained that Rimsevich failed to do the full one, so only the first part, or 250,000 euros, was paid. It is clear from the prosecutor that Martinson had a mediator’s role in this criminal offense – he received 10% of the total amount of bribe. The prosecutor added that bribery was carried out in cash.

In addition, Rimsevich and Martinson have also been accused of money laundering of EUR 250,000.

The Prosecutor General’s Office believes that Rimsevich has used a bribe of € 250,000 to buy real estate on behalf of a company, to which the Governor of the Bank of Latvia has hidden. There has also been a process against the application of this company for the application of a coercive effect, as the money laundering has been carried out in the interest of this legal entity. The company’s name is not disclosed by the prosecutor’s office, but TV3’s « Nothing Personal » previously reported that the accompanying accusation was related to the transaction in which Martinson’s official company « MM Investment » bought the property in Jurmala, Baznīcas Street 2.
