Today, the Corruption Prevention Bureau will urge the court to revise the security measure previously set and order Stabina held in custody, "Neka personiga" informs.
Stabina has left a farewell letter, but her location remains unknown.
She was detained on suspicion of bribe taking in September 2012. She spent two months in custody and resigned after her release. On May 31, the Prosecutor General Office's Serious Crime Department prosecutor brought criminal charges against Stabina.
According to "Neka personiga", a few days later, Stabina's children received a letter from their mother, informing about her intentions of leaving Latvia and never coming back.
As reported, the criminal case was opened in September 2012. 14 searches were conducted and seven persons were detained, including Stabina and two employees.
The Corruption Prevention Bureau believes that the Riga City Council officials, via go-betweens, were for a long time accepting bribes from residents who wanted to receive municipal apartments in Riga.
