The deputy director at the Constitutional Protection Bureau, Uldis Dzenitis, told LETA that no Chechen or any other combatants had undergone any training on the territory of Latvia. With regard to whether Latvian law enforcement institutions had received such information from their Russian counterparts, Dzenitis declined to answer. He said that the mutual exchange of information between respective authorities was a state secret pursuant to Latvian and international legislation.
