Former Liepāja Deputy and Surgeon Fined for Hiding Over €400,000 in Income

Starting in 2022, the surgeon at Liepāja Medical Center and city council deputy led an outwardly impeccable life while engaging in her professional duties, politics, and possibly a very expensive and secret hobby – gambling at Riga casinos. The State Revenue Service noticed discrepancies in its databases, and after a thorough analysis of her cash flow, it became clear there was a gap of several hundred thousand euros between her legal income and actual spending. According to available information, the amount exceeds €400,000. A desperate legal battle ensued, but modern digital traces and bank statements were able to dismantle even the most carefully constructed alibi. As a result, the former deputy was fined a substantial amount for tax evasion. The story dates back to 2022 and 2023, when she was still a deputy and working at the medical center.
