In Latvia, the Office of the Prosecutor General has started an investigation into the organization 'Tiesiskums.lv', following information provided by MP Jānis Patmalnieks. The investigation aims to assess the organization's compliance with the Law on Advocacy and provisions of the Criminal Code. The prosecutor's office is expected to request necessary information as part of the inquiry to clarify potential legal violations.

Jānis Patmalnieks, a member of the parliament, approached both the Ethics Commission of the Latvian Council of Sworn Attorneys and the Prosecutor General's Office, urging them to review the actions of the lawyers involved with 'Tiesiskums.lv'. Patmalnieks has highlighted that he perceives systematic violations of the Law on Advocacy and the Code of Ethics among these lawyers, particularly in regard to the ongoing campaign related to the recovery of the mandatory procurement component (OIK). He is calling for a thorough evaluation of the organization's operations and the conduct of the implicated attorneys.

This investigation holds significant implications for the legal profession in Latvia, emphasizing the need for adherence to legal and ethical standards. The lawyer's profession is built on trust, and any breaches of these standards not only undermine the integrity of individual lawyers but also the public's confidence in the legal system as a whole. The outcome of this investigation could potentially lead to stricter regulations or oversight within the legal community in Latvia.
