During border surveillance, border guards in the Krāslava municipality found 13 persons without travel documents, valid visas, or residence permits, while nearby border guards stopped an Iveco car carrying two Romanian citizens.
Criminal proceedings have been initiated against the Romanians for knowingly providing a person with an opportunity to stay illegally in Latvia, where such an opportunity is provided to more than five persons.
This can be punishable by two to eight years' imprisonment.
