Context
Latvia criminalizes driving under the influence of alcohol when the driver's blood alcohol content exceeds 1.5 ppm. In such cases, the car is confiscated, or if the driver is not driving his or her own car, he or she must pay an amount equivalent to its value.
Since the adoption of these amendments, Latvia has repeatedly transferred confiscated cars to Ukraine.
