Border guards to be prosecuted for alleged data leaking

At the end of June, the Internal Security Bureau (IDB) sent to the Prosecutor's Office a criminal case against three officials of the State Border Guard of the Latgale region for illegal dissemination of data and knowingly providing false information, the IDB said July 10.

In the course of the pre-trial investigation, the IDB established that the State Border Guard officers, motivated by greed, agreed to an offer to transfer access rights to accounts of credit institutions and payment systems belonging to them to other persons, which enabled these persons to illegally use means of payment.

The IDB also obtained evidence that the State Border Guard officials knowingly provided false information to a legal person authorized by law to request information on the transaction and the true owner or beneficial owner of the funds or other property involved. 

The prosecution was initiated against State Border Guard officials for illegal dissemination of data enabling illegal use of means of payment (Article 1931, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Law), as well as for knowingly providing false information to a legal person about the ownership of funds and the real beneficiary (Article 1951, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code).
