Police officer accused of drug possession

The Internal Security Bureau (IDB) has asked the Multidisciplinary Specialized Prosecutor's Office to prosecute an official of the Zemgale Regional Directorate of the State Police (VP) and an individual for illegal circulation of narcotic drugs, IDB said Wednesday.

In the course of the pre-trial investigation, the IDB established that the VP officer, by prior agreement with another person, possessed cannabis and cocaine at their residences.

The narcotic substances were also found in the private vehicle of the VP officer.

The VP officer was subjected to non-custodial measures, including a ban on holding a certain post in the VP.

Prosecution was initiated against the officer for unauthorized acquisition and possession of narcotic drugs (Article 253, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Law), as well as for unauthorized acquisition and possession of narcotic drugs in a group of persons by prior agreement (Article 253, paragraph 2 of the Criminal Law).

However, it is proposed to prosecute a private person for the unauthorised acquisition and possession of narcotic drugs in a group of persons by prior agreement.
