The Prosecutor’s Office informed the agency LETA that the South Latgale Prosecutor’s Office completed the criminal proceedings against the person who paid wages not shown in the accounting records in a significant amount.
Jakubovskis, being a member of the board of the football club “FC Lokomotiv Daugavpils” and actually managing the economic activities of this association, paid two football players unaccounted money in the total amount of 9,170 euros for the fact that they performed their work duties by playing football in a specific football club team, LETA found out.
Taking into account the nature of the crime committed and the fact that the accused committed a less serious crime in the national economy, he fully admitted his guilt, regretted what he had done, as well as the personality of the accused – he had been tried before, but the criminal record was cleared, the prosecutor’s office imposed a fine of 5000 euros and deprivation of the right to be a member of the board and the board the position of chairman in companies related to sports lessons and organization of sports events, for one year.
The case was investigated by the Tax and Customs Police of the State Revenue Service (SRS), which in July 2022 sent the South Latgale Prosecutor’s Office a criminal proceeding for the payment of wages not shown in the accounting in the amount of 9,170 euros.
On May 13, 2021, the SRS conducted a search of Jakubovsk, who at that time was the authorized person of the debutant Daugavpils “Noah Jurmala” (previously Daugavpils “Lokomotiv”) of the football super league.
SRS representative Andrejs Vaivars confirmed to the LETA agency at the time that SRS employees carried out procedural actions in the football club “Noah Jurmala”, but did not provide detailed comments on the circumstances of the case.
Latvijas Televīzija, on the other hand, announced that a criminal prosecution has been initiated for the payment of envelopes in the Daugavpils “Noah Jurmala” football club, which competed in the football super league last season, but last June, unfulfilled financial obligations and other circumstances prevented it from continuing to participate in the tournament.
