The court turned down all requests voiced by Lembergs' attorneys and
decided that debates would now begin. The next hearing will be on February 5,
2018.
The debates will be one of the final stages in the review of the case. If
new information is provided to the court during the debates, the court may
order investigation in the case reopened.
As reported, the prosecutor's office has charged Lembergs with
bribe-taking, money laundering, document forgery, exceeding his authority, and
other crimes.
The other defendants in the case are Lembergs' son Anrijs Lembergs and Ansis
Sormulis who works at various transit companies. All three defendants plead
not guilty.
The case was handed over to the court by the prosecutor's office in 2008.
The judges on the case are Boriss
Geimans, Irina Jansone and Ligita
Kuzmane.
