Roslikov begins selling property in Latvia
Aleksejs Roslikov, leader of the party "Stabilitātei!" who is charged with incitement of national and ethnic hatred and has fled to Belarus, is trying to sell a house in Riga, TV3's programme "Nekā personīga" reports.
Aleksejs Roslikov, leader of the party "Stabilitātei!" ("For Stability!"), who is charged with incitement of national and ethnic hatred and has fled to Belarus, has started getting rid of property in Latvia. This is reported by the TV3 programme "Nekā personīga". The matter is significant because the court case against the politician has been suspended until he is found.
The property on sale
A property registered in Roslikov's name in Riga is listed on an online classifieds portal, and the politician is trying to sell it. Neighbours told the programme that nobody has lived in this section of the terraced house for a long time.
The listing offers part of a two-storey terraced house of almost 200 square metres. It has a fireplace, built-in kitchen appliances, heated floors, two terraces and a small plot of land. The home is sold fully furnished for 280,000 euros.
According to Land Register data, Roslikov bought the property three years ago for 107,000 euros. Three months later his fellow party member Svetlana Čulkova reportedly bought a similar property next door for a considerably higher sum.
The party and the court case
"Stabilitātei!" won only 1.997% of the vote in the Saeima (parliament) elections, so it failed to enter parliament and lost state funding. Čulkova, the chair of the party's board, told the news agency LETA that Roslikov currently does not plan to return to Latvia from Belarus, but will stop his political activity. "He will continue to be active in politics, express his views and defend the people and issues to which he has so far devoted his work," the politician said.
This spring, Riga City Council decided to revoke Roslikov's mandate as a council member because he had failed to attend more than half of the council's sessions within three months. The politician himself believes the case against him is politically ordered.
The court has imposed detention as a preventive measure on Roslikov and put him on a wanted list. Proceedings have been suspended until he is found.
