The Latvian Supreme Court has overturned a lower court's ruling in the case of former Security Police employee Sparāns who was accused of illegally retaining state secrets and misusing his official position after leaving his job.
The Latvian Supreme Court has mandated a re-evaluation of the case involving former Security Police employee Sparāns, who is accused of espionage-related offenses. The appellate court found that a key charge against him had been incorrectly classified, prompting the full annulment of the prior court's decision. The court clarified that the actions attributed to Sparāns—illegally holding on to classified information and moving it to his private residence—fall under the same set of criminal actions, requiring a new legal assessment.
