The two were detained by Riga Police on Friday following the flashing
incident by the FreedomMonument.
One was a 22 year old man, who exposed his private parts and the other, a 26
year old man was photographing.
Although the man exposing himself was highly intoxicated, his 'photographer' hadn't
consumed any alcohol.
As these actions were carried out in a public place, the police classified it
as delinquency and opened a criminal case because the incidents took place in
public. The court will soon decide how much to fine them, and if the men will
be further detained.
As reported by LETA, the Freedom Monument has become a popular site for dirty pranks
among foreigners, especially British and Irish citizens, visiting Latvia. Most
often the city's guests have been caught relieving themselves by the monument.
The court usually fines the foreigners with LVL 50 administrative penalty.
