There are currently 19 persons charged in the criminal case, which was originally started on August 28, 2008.
As reported, the agreement between the Digital Latvian Radio and Television Center (DLRTC) and the company Kempmayer Media Limited envisaged the introduction of digital television in Latvia in several stages and shipping various equipment for digital broadcasts to Latvia. The total cost of the project was projected in the tens of millions of lats.
