Court record · Latvia
Former governor, Bank of Latvia
Prosecuted over alleged solicitation of bribes from a Latvian bank; detained in 2018
Ilmārs Rimšēvičs is recorded in this register under the heading “Court record”, in connection with the role of Former governor, Bank of Latvia. The entry is filed to Riga (Latvia), which is the location associated with the role in the published material rather than a statement of present residence or employment.
The case was brought by Latvia's anti-corruption bureau KNAB and coincided with the wind-down of ABLV Bank following a US Treasury money-laundering designation. The register reproduces the substance of the linked source and does not extend it. Where a matter has been appealed, reopened, or closed without findings, that position is stated as the source states it, and the summary line for this entry reads: “Prosecuted over alleged solicitation of bribes from a Latvian bank; detained in 2018.”
The entry rests on a published judicial decision or an established news agency report of one. It records the finding as the court expressed it, and nothing beyond it. Readers assessing counterparty, employment or reputational risk should treat this page as a signpost to the primary material — cited here as KNAB / Reuters — and should verify current status directly with the issuing court, authority or publisher before acting. Corrections and right-of-reply requests are handled through the register's legal notice.
