The Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) has launched a departmental inquiry into whether representatives of the party alliance "United List" (Apvienotais saraksts) acted in accordance with the Pre-election Campaigning Law during activities carried out last Friday. The bureau confirmed the start of the inquiry to the LETA news agency.

Among those whose actions will be reviewed is Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs. The events prompting the inquiry took place in the Kurzeme region.

What the inquiry involves

KNAB conducts this type of departmental check to determine whether rules governing pre-election campaigning — such as requirements on campaign financing, use of public resources, or other statutory restrictions — may have been violated. The bureau said it would announce the findings once the inquiry is complete.

No detailed public information has so far been released about the specific nature of the events that prompted the review.
