The Senate’s Criminal Division has overturned a previous ruling by the Riga Regional Court regarding the second Digital Television criminal case. The lower court had originally found all defendants not guilty and acquitted them of the charges. Following a review of the prosecutor's appeal, the Senate has now nullified those acquittals. Among the high-profile individuals involved in the legal proceedings are Rīga City Council member Ainārs Šlesers and former Prime Minister Andris Šķēle. The case continues to draw significant attention due to the political status of the defendants. This decision means the legal process regarding the alleged crimes will be reviewed again. The development was first reported by Latvian Television.
