Krišjānis Kariņš allegedly spent up to €1.3m on private jet rentals for official trips
Krišjānis Kariņš, the Latvian foreign minister, has said he will step down after a scandal over his use of state funds to pay for private flights during his time as prime minister.
Last week, Latvia’s prosecutor general opened an investigation into the misuse of state funds after it was revealed that Kariņš had allegedly spent up to €1.3m (£1.1m) on private jet rentals for official trips.
