Human rights must be protected always and everywhere!
Chairman of the Justice for Inara committee
Opening address
Mrs. Inara Vilkaste,
Latvian businesswoman with more
than 20 years of experience, 2013.
I dont want to be afraid. And I dont want my chil-
dren to be afraid for their lives and looking over their
backs all the time. Therefore I took this fght out of the
borders of my country. For the sake of my family and
any other citizen of Latvia so that nobody experiences
the same as that which I am experiencing.
In 2015 Latvia will undertake the European Union presidency. Latvia
has been a European Union member state for ten years already and it is
offcially considered a democratic country. With increasing frequency,
there are the facts emerging, testifying that the Latvian law-enforce-
ment system fails to comply with European standards.
Since 2005 the life of Latvian businesswoman Inara Vilkaste reminds
one of a nightmare: threats, deliberate arson, a disappeared lawyer
and hundreds of summons to court, reminiscent of Kafkas Process.
Everything is clear for Inara Vilkaste and her family: she is being
intimidated by the corrupt representatives of state administration
authorities. More and more people across all of Europe are learning
about the actions of Latvian authorities with indignation; representa-
tives of the Justice for Inara committee are also among these people.
The purpose of the Committee is to provide proof that Inara Vilkaste and her family have become vic-
tims of the corrupt offcials of public authorities.The Committee carries out international information
campaigns and explanatory work, meets the public, as well as provides legal support for taking
measures in courts.
This is a war launched against me and my family.
However, I dont give up and I continue to protect my
right for life.
Inara Vilkaste
Inara Vilkastes case is a shame on Europe. The
human rights violation threatens democracy. This is
why we fght for justice.

The committee is active in Europe.

Heart of the matter of Inara Vilkastes and
Vladimir Vaskevics Family
This matter in its substance is a criminal and political prosecution of
the successful Latvian businesswoman Inara Vilkaste and her husband
Vladimir Vaskevic, ex-director of the Customs Criminal Board and
deputy director general of the State Revenue Service.
This prosecution is carried out by a group consisting of criminals,
the staff of intelligence services and politicians. Contacts in various
law enforcement bodies and other illegal means are used. Intelligence
services and politicians, being covered with slogans of combating
corruption, are trying to deal with political opponents and undesirable
persons at any cost.
The Latvian laws and system as a whole is working against Mrs.
Vilkaste and Mr. Vaskevic. In relation to them, since 2004 a fshing
expedition has been carried out including tracing, eavesdropping, il-
legal searches on the application of criminals and agents of intelligence
services with the purpose of getting any material to fabricate processes
and denigrate reputations.
Concerning the above-mentioned situation Mrs. Vilkaste has applied to Latvian law enforcement agencies one
hundred times and even to the Prime Minister and to the President, but a reaction still has not followed. At the mo-
ment her last hope is the European Court of Human Rights and the European community. Mrs. Vilkaste and Mr.
Vaskevic are sure that offcials, politicians and law enforcement agencies in no state should have an opportunity to
use the system against persons undesirable for them.
In order to prove the above statements, we have collected and submit for your attention the most important docu-
ments and facts. There are thousands of documents and pieces of evidence therefore if you have any questions or
doubts, please, address the Justice for Inara committee, we will provide you with the necessary information.

Director of the Customs Criminal
Board and Deputy Director General
of the State Revenue Service (SRS).
The basic rule of democracy rule of law over the person
Since 2006 our family has been involved in more
than 150 criminal and civil proceedings. All of
them are based on false statements and testimonies
of the same people. The initiators of the fabricated
proceedings are the same offcials from intelligence
services.

In 2004 Latvia was going to accede to the European Union (EU) and three years later to
the Schengen area. The safety of the Latvian border, which has also become an EU exter-
nal border, has turned out to be a task of strategic importance.
The emphasis was placed on combating smuggling, and Vladimir Vaskevic successfully
executed this process and managed it. From 2004 to 2006 a new structural unit of the
central offce of the State Revenue Service (SRS) was created the Customs Board of
Criminal Investigations. It has ensured centralised control and the carrying out of investi-
gations for combating smuggling by means of a method of analytical intelligence, which
is completely opposite to the situation taking place when the functions of at least six
various departments and law enforcement agencies overlap, and thus nobody is responsi-
ble for the result. The effciency of these reforms was refected in the Latvian press from
2001 to 2006. Beforehand, in the absence of transparency, there was an opportunity to
avoid responsibility, and the corruption risks increased.
Before the events of 2012-2013 Inara Vilkaste was convinced that the prosecution of her family had an particularly
brutal background: by exerting enormous pressure on her and the father of her children V. Vaskevic, the criminals and
their associates from intelligence services simply deprived her of the money earned in 2005. In 2006 extortionists and in-
formants from KNAB, by using threats, tried to get more than 7 million euros from I. Vilkaste. However, further events
demonstrated that the persecution of the family is based on a complex interlacing of interests of the corrupt politicians,
their allies from intelligence services and the criminals. In addition to the desire of the extortionists to get money from I.
Vilkaste, the group of offcers of intelligence services and politicians have had an urgent need to eradicate V. Vaskevic,
who has conducted reforms in the SRS area which to a large extent have been detrimental to the illegal economy. Inter-
ests of intelligence services, politicians and crime have a joint purpose of destroying Mr. Vaskevic for his professional
activity, and I. Vilkaste has been chosen as a tool.
How did everything begin?
2006 when the nightmare began. In this year there was an explosion of my
house, an attempt to kidnap my daughter, arson of the car of Mr. Vaskevic. At
last the criminals, using the protection of corrupt staff of intelligence services
assumed the direct extortion of a huge sum of money from me. After I appealed
to the police and the criminal acts were temporarily suspended, intelligence
services decided to use the extortionist in other ways. Hundreds of fraudulent
statements and testimonies of the extortionist have formed the basis of uncount-
able trials against me and Vladimir.
In 2007 when it became clear that the intelligence services and criminals would not get any money, an attempted
murder of V. Vaskevic with his parallel discrediting and elimination from key posts was made. At this moment the
point of no return was passed.
V. Vaskevic was to be eliminated physically in 2004, before the accession of Latvia into the EU and before the
introduction of his reforms in the State Revenue Service; however the desire to divest money from I. Vilkaste out-
weighed it.
It is very important to understand that long-term persecution, unfounded charges and the distribution of a
frank lie under the slogan of the fght against corruption is also an attempt to evade responsibility for the
multimillion extortion organised by gangsters, special services and further supported by politicians.
By the way, Vyacheslav Liscov, the predecessor and former colleague of Vaskevic, the chief of the Latgale Regional Of-
fce of the State Revenue Service was killed in 2001, and subsequently, in 2010 Ainars Platacis, the defence lawyer of V.
Vaskevic and I. Vilkaste disappeared without a trace. These crimes are still not disclosed.
V. Vaskevic. Implemented the 1st
stage of the plan of reorganisa-
tion. The Customs Board of
Criminal Investigations is
created at the SRS.
The desire to divest money from I. Vilkaste is so great that for a while they have forgotten V. Vaskevic.
The aspiration to annihilate Mr. Vaskevic professionally and even better physically has been linked
to his successful professional activity, which has blocked multimillion cash fows of the
shadow economy.

I. Vilkaste tells journalists about the
prosecution, 2011.
The destruction of Mr. Vaskevic was the main target. Since the party concerned could not remove him
and affect his decisions, another strategy was chosen - total discrediting with the purpose to reduce his infuence
and eventually displace Mr. Vaskevic from the position of head of the Customs Criminal Board and Deputy Direc-
tor of the State Revenue Service. Fabricated trials with closed sessions followed, at the same time biased informa-
tion was leaked to the press for manipulation with public opinion.
For the achievement of the purpose all the means appeared to be good. Even the torture and beating of Mr.
Vaskevic during detention, and also the extortion of false testimonies from different persons against V. Vaskevic
and I. Vilkaste under the threat of punishment.
Mrs. Vilkaste in many cases cannot disclose the names of witnesses and of the people who help her. There are too
many examples when the system under the guise of law and using its administrative resources has persecuted or
exerted pressure on unrelated people.
Results of the prosecution of V. Vaskevic are
obvious. Everything possible is undertaken now to
return the system of combating smuggling and organised
crime to the initial condition in which it was before 2002.
Decentralisation of functions is taking place. Thus, we
clearly see how criminals are using the current situation
for their own beneft, and some politicians are covering
them.
The success of the new system was obvious. This new initiative
worked in favour of the state. However it didnt bring anything
good to certain pockets. It caused dissatisfaction as it reduced the
power and infuence received earlier, and also led to a sharp reduc-
tion in illegal income. The situation became even more diffcult
when in February 2009 the change of governing political forces
took place.
The new political party Unity (Vienotba, at that time Jaunais
Laiks/Modern times) came to power under the combating corrup-
tion slogan which, generally was only a cover to justify their desire
to deal with leaders and offcials of the previous ruling party. Mr.
Vaskevic appeared among them the previous results and achieve-
ments of combating smuggling and organised crime were of no
value any more.

Attempted murder of V. Vaskevic at an
entrance to the building of the Customs
Criminal Board
The terror of the last eight years is the reply of
a group of people from intelligence services,
politicians and criminals, for the refusal to
make a compromise with a conscience and to
agree with the demands of the extortionists. At
some instant the interests of the above-men-
tioned persons coincided. As a result all of this
turned into a situation, which must not exist
in Europe, or any democratic country: when a
small group of people are using the system (the
state resource) for the purpose of doing away
with undesirable persons.

SHORT BIO
Vladimir Vaskevic
21.11.2012 (with I. Vilkaste and V. Vaskevic being absent, lawyers were denied being present too) KNAB employees con-
ducted a search at I. Vilkastes house.
During the search a document customs senior inspector certifcate as of 1988 was seized.
Later on 7 January 2013 a representative of the Central district court declared the search was illegal. Answering
multiple requests of lawyers to return seized items, including the customs senior inspector certifcate, KNAB investigator
R. Kuzma answered that this document was returned to its owner. So a part of V. Vaskevics life and one page of Latvian
history were erased.
Vladimir Vaskevic worked for the Latvian Customs in the State Revenue Service (SRS) and Ministry of Finance of
independent Latvia from 1991 (from 1988 till 1991 he worked at USSR Customs).
V. Vaskevic. Beginning of his career in
the state administration - 1988
from 2000 Head of the Customs Group of the Smuggling Combating Centre,
from April 2001 Head of the Smuggling Combating Centre of the SRS,
from June 2002 Director of the SRS Customs Criminal Board,
from March 2005 worked both as Director of the Customs Criminal Board and Deputy Director General of the
SRS (supervising the Financial police board, combating smuggling (including drugs), tax crimes, money laun-
dering and smuggling inside the SRS),
September 2008 SRS Deputy Director (managing strategy development and staff matters),
March 2010 Deputy Director of the Tax and Customs Policy Department at the Ministry of Finance,
in February, 2011 it was displaced from a position in the Ministry of Finance (following the results of the
parliamentary elections in 2011 the new political party Vienotba acquired the right to form the govern-
ment, after which there was a redistribution of the spheres of infuence in the economy and policy).
Took the following signifcant posts:
9
From 2000 till 2010 held different positions in the SRS and Ministry
of Finance system, created and ruled a combating scheme against
smuggling, customs and tax crimes, money laundering and corrup-
tion within the SRS. Besides this, the fght against corruption within
the SRS was also an area of his responsibility. Primary functions of
the Customs Criminal Board and Financial police Board were com-
bating illegal drug traffc, organised crime and money laundering.
From May 2004 till the middle of 2006, using the experience of
EU countries (Sweden, Great Britain, Germany, Finland, Austria
and Lithuania), created a new law-enforcement structure Customs
Criminal Board, which for the frst time in Latvia applied the Intel-
ligence method, that is the analytic intelligence method well-
known in European countries and EUROPOL. But the most impor-
tant thing is that this system greatly minimised the risk of corruption,
the human factor role during the collection, systematisation, analysis
and spreading of information. The Customs Criminal Board became
a signifcant element in the new system of combating smuggling in
the SRS.
From April 2005 till the middle of 2007 he prepared a plan, reorganised and applied a new structure Fi-
nancial Police Board, made changes for the purpose of achieving great progress in the results of combating
money laundering and strengthening combating against corruption within the SRS (according to the Law on
the SRS combating corruption within the SRS is within the competence of the Financial police Board). He
instituted the same method of analytic intelligence, as it was in the Customs Criminal Board in the centralised
structure of the Financial Police Board.
SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVMENTS
Vladimir Vaskevic
V. Vaskevic created an effective system for
combating smuggling.
From October 2008 till February 200 according to the task of the SRS Director General, he prepared a project for
a new SRS structure and a detailed plan for SRS reorganisation. The new structure was based on three main basics:
centralisation of functions, decreasing the number of employees and minimising the risk of corruption within the
SRS.
According to the change of political management of the Ministry of Finance and the State, in autumn 2009 he
was dismissed from his position in the SRS and failed to fnish the reorganisation of the SRS for this reason.

Important events in the life of V. Vaskevic
Aigar Sparans (employee of the Constitution Protection Bureau, SAB) through R. Laz-
dins, adviser to the prime minister, offered V. Vaskevic protection against criminals (a
criminal roof).
At that time V. Vaskevic didnt understand what he was talking about, and stopped
their conversation. A month later the acts of terror followed.
A car of Mr. Vaskevic was set on fre by the employee of intelligence serv-
ice E. Gulbis and the KNAB informant R. talbergs.
Attempted kidnapping of the youngest daughter of V. Vaskevic.
A complaint submitted to the ECHR about the illegal deprivation of access to a state
secret at the initiative of SAB and KNAB. The complaint is accepted for consideration.
Ainars Platacis, sworn advocate
of the family, disappeared

Mr. Vaskevic informed the Prosecutor General about large-scale provocation and the
operation planned against him by certain SAB staff members, with a request to investi-
gate it. The same evening KNAB arrested him, he was heavily beaten by offcials, and
his family was threatened.

The state of health of Mr. Vaskevic sharply worsened. Despite the application on process
consideration in videoconference mode, a public prosecutor of the Republic of Latvia once
again requested changing his measure of restraint and to apply arrest.
A security measure arrest - was applied to Mr. Vaskevic. When imprisoned in the Cen-
tral Prison, he was subject to psychological pressure and threats, medical assistance was
denied to him. Being afraid for his life and health, and also for the safety of his family, Mr.
Vaskevic did not make any complaints about the torture and forbade his lawyers from do-
ing so. He was released on bail on 25 March 2011.
Mr. Vaskevic was dismissed from his position and deprived of a means of subsistence.
And this has taken place after he has worked for the State for more than 25 years.
Mr. Vaskevic, together with his daughter, departed to have a rest in Austria (with the
courts permission). In Austria his health sharply deteriorated, he was hospitalised, an
urgent operation was performed. Treatment and rehabilitation in Austria is taking place up
to now (2014).

Head of the Customs Criminal Board, Deputy Director of the State Revenue Service, on
Attempted murder of Vladimir Vaskevic
21.05.2007.
I conduct operational activity... Nobody above is aware any more what do I do and do
not do. (E. Gulbis from the materials of the criminal case about the attempted murder of V. Vaskevic)
Initial data confrmed a link of the operative offcer of the Constitution Protection Bureau (SAB) Aigars Sparans, the Head
of KNAB Operative Work Juris Jurass, the employee of the Saeima and the State President Security Service Edgars Gulbis and the
offender having a criminal record Raimonds Stalbergs with this crime, however these characters one after another disappeared
from the criminal case.
Printouts of information queries specify that only three hours before the explosion on 21 May at 14:21 the KNAB offcer
Vilis Arajs under the username of varajs1637 requested GPRS data of V. Vaskevics location.
In the materials of the criminal case there are the witness testimonies about the fact that only a few minutes after the explo-
sion the SAB offcer Aigars Sparans appeared on the crime scene who immediately came into the territory limited by police tape.
The disappearance and possible murder of Ainars Platacis, the lawyer of V. Vaskevic, is not disclosed yet, the real organisers
of the extortion of millions are still not named and sentenced, which took place in 2004-2007 under the roof of representatives
of the Latvian intelligence services who, in turn, were and still are trusted by many leading politicians. Therefore, the question
arises as to whether the organisers and performers of the attempted murder of V. Vaskevic will stay unexposed and unpunished,
with others serving their time instead of them.
