Stukan will not reject his candidacy for the position / day of the Attorney General

Stucan confirmed that he had learned about the investigation initiated by the President of the Supreme Court (AT) from the media, but he did not know what prosecutor Viorika Jirgen wrote in his alarm report. At the same time, Stucan is ready to provide all the necessary information for the testmaker, Aija Brante.

Stucan also confirmed that the so -called Former Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš had given the answer to members of the « Joint List » who were interested in the case when the case would be moved. Stucan has replied to them in the past publicly evaluating the activities of all those involved.

The Prosecutor General also confirmed that so far Jirgen had not contacted him and expressed any claims. The prosecutor, who was initially a monitoring prosecutor in the flight case, has been issued a sickness sheet since January. Currently, the case has another prosecutor.

LETA has failed to contact Jireta.

It has already been reported that he has been familiar with the alarm lifting report, at Chairman Aigars Strupišs has suggested that there was a basis for the dismissal of the Attorney General Stucan.

The AT Chairman authorized Aija Brant, the Senators of the Senate Criminal Case Department, to perform.

The test could be carried out by the end of May or early June. The process of nominating the next Prosecutor General’s post has been suspended until the examination is completed.

Stucan is one of three candidates for the position of Prosecutor General. The Council of Justice had initially planned to hear candidates for the position of Prosecutor General this Friday, April 25.

The AT had received an application for alleged violations of the Law on the Prosecutor’s Office and the Criminal Law, « Disclosure of Inexperienced News », which have been expressed as the confidence of the supervisory prosecutor in criminal proceedings and the disclosure of the mystery of the investigation to members of the Saeima.

Prosecutor Viorika Jirgena confirmed to Latvian Television that she had been an alarm in this case.

When examining the application, it was found primarily to correspond to the signs of anxiety lifting specified in the alarm lift law. The Chairman of the AT evaluated two circumstances for further progress of the report.

Firstly, the first legal possibility of the infringement was assessed, namely whether the circumstances specified in the report may indicate at least a hypothetical attempt to influence the prosecutor’s influence, contrary to his / her conviction by the methods specified in the report.

Secondly, the first credibility of the circumstances specified in the report, namely, whether the actual circumstances specified in the report, at least primarily, will be confirmed from the parties involved in the other events specified in the events specified.

The President of the AT found that the circumstances specified in the report on the confidence of the supervisory prosecutor would be partly approved by the Certain Prosecutor’s convictions in criminal proceedings and that the infringement in the circumstances is possible. This is a sufficient basis for initiating a test to evaluate the facts mentioned by nature.

On the other hand, the examination of the possible disclosure of the investigation is not encouraged, as it has not even been primarily confirmed, thus remaining at the assumption level in the report. The chairman of the AT does not have legal instruments to investigate a possible criminal offense. This must be in accordance with the relevant laws.

In accordance with the Law on the Prosecutor’s Office, the Saeima may dismiss the Attorney General if the AT judge specifically authorized by the Chairman of the AT, during the examination, identified one of the basics of the dismissal and the AT plenary opinion.

The President may be initiated on his own initiative, at the request of one -third of the Saeima deputies or the Council of Justice.
