JSC "Latvijas kuģniecība", pursuant to the request of the Prosecutor's
office and exercising its rights, on October 20, 2003 submitted a civil
claim USD 24 million worth in Banka Baltija case.
In 1995 a deposit agreement at total value of USD 24 million was signed
between Latvijas kuģniecību, its daughter company Latalpha Holdings
Corporation and Banka Baltija (BB). Pursuant to the provisions of the
agreement, the amount was paid to the account of Finhold Ltd., owned by
BB president A.Lavents. BB spent the money to pay for an acquisition -
Ceska Bank shares. Since Latvijas kuģniecība daughter company failed
to receive the deposited amount, in 1995 the amount was included in
creditor's claim. However, it was not met, since the receipt of the
amount USD 24 million had not been entered in the books of BB .
