KNAB opens internal review of large cash gifts from Stepanenko's father to his daughter

Latvia's Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB), which oversees political financing and fights corruption, is conducting a departmental review linked to the family finances of Julija Stepanenko, leader of the "Sovereign Power/Alliance Young Latvians" party alliance.

During the check, the bureau is assessing information about large cash gifts made by Stepanenko's father to her daughter. He lives in Russia.

A departmental review is an authority's internal stage of evaluating information. Available information does not indicate that any decision on a violation has been taken or that any other proceedings have been started.

The source does not state the size or timing of the gifts, or which possible violations the bureau is assessing in this case. No deadlines for the review are mentioned either.
