Niks Endziņš tells TV show about court case he links to his ex-girlfriend

In a clip from the 360TV show “Slavenības. Bez filtra” (“Celebrities. Unfiltered”), published on 19 October, Niks Endziņš spoke about past relationships and trouble with the law that he ties to them. Endziņš is a publicly known Latvian who has previously come to the attention of law enforcement. He was speaking with Sindija Bokāne during a romantic date.

Endziņš says he was drawn into legal proceedings

Niks told Sindija that he currently faces a trial because a woman allegedly planted drugs on him. By his account, the court dispute has lasted two or three years. He believes his former girlfriend acted out of revenge, but stresses that he is not guilty himself and does not intend to give up.

Endziņš spoke harshly about his former partner, calling her the biggest manipulator imaginable. He said she did not work and lived largely at his expense, and that he felt used even while they were together. Later, he said, the situation grew into a serious conflict with the law.

Sindija admitted she does not always like it when Niks returns to past events, but said she wants to stand by him in difficult moments too.

The former girlfriend's alleged actions are reported here solely on Niks's word. The clip includes no comment from the other side and no independent confirmation of his claims.

An earlier court case

The source recalls that the Riga District Court, in a case over buying and possessing 11 grams of cocaine, sentenced a person to four years in prison plus one and a half years of probation supervision. Prosecutors told the news agency LETA that the person illegally bought a powdery substance containing more than 11 grams of cocaine. Part was kept in a package in a mailbox and the rest at the person's home, until police seized it. LETA learned that this person is Endziņš. The court changed his preventive measure from police supervision to custody, and the verdict can be appealed to the Riga Regional Court.

Last year the Riga Regional Court sentenced Endziņš to a prison term already effectively served for hostile comments about Chinese people.
