RIGA - Taking into account all the scandals involving the Rig City Council over the years under the leadership of Riga Mayor Nils Usakovs (Harmony), and especially after the recent Rigas Satiksme corruption scandal, the Riga City Council's opposition has turned to the Party of European Socialists to evaluate Usakovs' position within the party as the president of the party's network of mayors.

In the letter, the city council's opposition informs the Party of European Socialists about the recent Rigas Satiksme corruption scandal, as well as all the other scandals to have taken place within the municipality under Usakovs' watch.

The opposition also points out to the fact that the Prosecutor General's Office is probing possible illegal activities carried out by Nils Usakovs.
