Law enforcement officers detained members of an organized criminal group who kidnapped and murdered a Latvian resident. According to the investigation, the victim owned a residential complex worth more than four million euros on the seashore in the resort town of Saulkrasti and rented out apartments.
A father and son from Russia, who were living in Latvia as refugees at the time, learned about the woman's wealth and decided to take possession of her property. To do this, they “invited” three Ukrainian citizens they knew to the country.
