Jomas Street Conflict: Investigation Complete, Case Referred to Prosecutor
A criminal case concerning a physical altercation in Jūrmala on Jomas Street has been referred to the Pierīga Prosecutor's Office for criminal prosecution, reports vp.gov.lv. The detainee is a young man born in 2006 who had no prior police record.
The State Police Riga Regional Administration's Jūrmala Station received a report of the conflict on Jomas Street on 30 May. The young man was detained the same day, and criminal proceedings were initiated immediately.
During the investigation, it was established that the conflict erupted spontaneously—verbally offensive remarks of a personal nature escalated into a physical fight. The criminal case was initially opened under Article 125, Part 1 of the Criminal Law for intentional serious bodily injury. Following clarification of the circumstances of the case, it was reclassified under Article 231, Part 2 of the Criminal Law—hooliganism involving bodily injury to the victim.
For such an offence, the punishment provided is deprivation of liberty for up to five years, temporary deprivation of liberty, probation supervision, community service, or a monetary fine.
The detainee was initially assigned a security measure—placed under police supervision and prohibited from leaving the country, which was later amended to house arrest with the travel ban maintained. The criminal case was referred to the prosecutor's office on 6 November.
The State Police reminds: no person shall be considered guilty unless their guilt has been proven in the manner prescribed by law.
