Inese Siliņeviča, a judge from the Rīga District Court, faced serious legal issues when she was dismissed due to allegations of large-scale fraud involving a group of individuals. In February, Siliņeviča made a surprising appearance on the defendants' bench, where she maintained her innocence, stating, 'In my opinion, I have not engaged in any actions that would be punishable by law.' Her case stems from an investigation that uncovered a fraudulent employment scheme that involved a dubious job offer made by her assistant, Diana Vilhovika, to a relative, Zenta Zvirgzdiņa, for a fictitious archivist position.
