Latvia’s security services are probing whether sanctioned Russian billionaire Petr Aven should be stripped of his Latvian citizenship under a law adopted in response to the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.
The inquiry has been underway for some time and investigators have yet to submit their conclusions, Andrejs Vaivars, a communications adviser to Interior Minister Maris Kucinskis, said by phone, declining to provide further details. The Leta newswire reported the probe earlier on Monday.
