MP Jakovins held administratively liable over violations in issuing sick leave certificates
Saeima member and family doctor Juris Jakovins has been held administratively liable for violations in issuing sick leave certificates. Earlier, the Riga City Court found him guilty of issuing a forged medical statement.
Juris Jakovins, a member of the Saeima and a family doctor representing the Union of Greens and Farmers, has been held administratively liable for violations connected with the issuing of sick leave certificates.
The case is linked to another proceeding in which the politician has already faced a court ruling. The Riga City Court found him guilty of providing a forged medical statement to a lawyer. The lawyer used the document to avoid attending a civil case hearing.
The administrative penalty concerns violations of a similar nature, namely the way documents confirming incapacity for work were prepared and issued. The deputy's conduct as a medical practitioner has therefore been assessed under both criminal and administrative procedures.
The source report does not give further details, such as the size of the penalty or other particulars of the proceedings.
