Riga FC (Dundalk’s opponents last year) have been visited by the tax inspector.

The SRS (State Revenue Service)
has found ‘envelope salaries’ at
Virslīga club - FK Ventspils.

The LFF (Latvian FA) have recently
had problems of their own with the SRS.

On the pitch some issues as well....

I’m interested to see if UEFA will allow
any team caught & charged with
avoiding tax into UEFA competitions.

Also interested if “envelope salaries”
that are found - have a cross over with
manipulating game results.

In the Sunday Times last year:

Somehow JD managed to bring himself into this thread about Latvia.

‘UEFA Executive Committee member’
visiting another FA that ended up in a similar situation to his own FA.

Well done UEFA.....
