RIGA - A series of raids on state police stations carried out by the Interior Ministry has found that almost all of the employees in certain departments had failed to show up to work.Interior Minister Mareks Seglins announced the results of
the Aug. 29 probe on Sept. 2. He said that the results were particularly bad in
two departments in Riga.
In the Ziemeli police department, the raid found only four employees at work. There should have been 130 people on duty. Department representatives said there had been a sport day planned, but that the day was canceled.
The results were even worse at the Brasa department, where
only three out of 140 employees were present. Department representatives said
that the head of the department told employees they could go home at noon.
