Doubts have been raised in Latvia about the education and scientific publications of Indian researcher Divya Vishvanath. They emerged after she was granted Latvian citizenship. The question was examined by "Faktomāts", the fact-checking project of the Latvian news site Apollo.lv.
What was checked
The review covered the scientific publications of both Vishvanath and her partner. He obtained Latvian citizenship earlier, so the two cases were looked at together.
Documents on the couple's business activities and professional work, both in Latvia and abroad, were also examined.
Why it matters
The granting of citizenship to foreign specialists has drawn public interest, and the check seeks to establish whether the doubts about the researcher's qualifications are justified. The source text does not state the findings of the check, so they are not included in this summary.
