Raimonds Sprūdžs
Raimonds Sprūdžs is a Latvian politician who served as Minister of Environment and Regional Development. He gained media attention for his controversial comments regarding Aivars Lembergs, a prominent political figure, during a television interview in 2012, where he suggested that Lembergs deserved a fair punishment for alleged corruption. This statement became a focal point in a legal case where Lembergs claimed that Sprūdžs violated his presumption of innocence, leading to a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that dismissed Lembergs' complaint.
