The Riga City Court will continue examining the criminal case against Iveta Balode on 7 December at 12:00. She stands accused of gathering intelligence in Latvia and passing it to Russian special services.
According to the charges, the information reached the special services through the pro-Kremlin criminal organisation "Baltijas antifašisti" (Baltic Anti-Fascists). This description of the organisation appears in the accusation, as reported by the LETA news agency.
The session is a continuation of the trial, meaning proceedings against the defendant are already under way. The source gives no further details on what kind of information was allegedly gathered, over what period, or what penalty such an offence carries. It also does not describe earlier hearings in the case.
