The State Security Service of Latvia has initiated legal proceedings against a person accused of supplying programming services to a company based in Russia. This case represents the fifth instance in a recent series of Latvian prosecutions involving the illegal provision of services under Regulation 833/2014 or the delivery of "economic resources" to sanctioned entities in violation of asset freezes.
Financial Violations and Designated Entities
The charges against the individual extend to the method of their compensation. The prosecution asserts that the individual’s salary was deposited into Alfa-Bank, an institution currently designated under European Union sanctions. According to the authorities, using this account constitutes the illegal act of making financial funds available to a sanctioned entity.
Context of Recent Legal Actions
This latest prosecution follows a trend of strict implementation of EU sanctions laws within Latvia, following four similar cases recorded between October and December 2025. These actions collectively target both the direct provision of prohibited technical services and the indirect financial interactions that support blacklisted organizations.
