Evidence

Quotes

On Wednesday, April 10, the European Parliament (EP) sanctioned MP Tatjana Ždanoka of the Latvian Russian Union party for violating the European Parliament's code of conduct.

President of the EP Roberta Metsola announced that Ždanoka would not be allowed to represent the Parliament at conferences, foreign visits, and other events until the end of the current parliamentary term.

Ždanoka claimed that the penalty was for incorrect filling of the declaration where she failed to mention several public organizations 'where neither she nor anyone else had received a salary.'

As reported earlier by LSM, the State Security Service (VDD) has opened a criminal case against Tatjana Ždanoka for possible illegal cooperation with Russian special services.
