VTEK already investigated Rekst for conflict of interests in 2012 and ruled she broke the law by hiring her niece to run the municipality’s administration.

Rekst was also involved in setting the salary and bonuses for Kotlovska, delegating her to various municipal commissions, and sending her on work trips abroad, trainings, and seminars.
