Latvia's state security service has initiated criminal proceedings against a European Parliament lawmaker and a Latvian citizen on suspicion of collaborating with Russian intelligence and security services. The investigation focuses on Tatjana Ždanoka, a 73-year-old individual, following reports that she has been linked to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) since 2004.
The security service, known as VDD, reportedly began looking into Ždanoka's activities in response to allegations published by various news outlets in January. Despite the accusations, Ždanoka has denied any involvement with Russian intelligence.
