The Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia has charged one person with the fraudulent appropriation of a large sum of money. This information is being disseminated by the Prosecutor’s Office.
According to them, the charge provides for a sentence of imprisonment ranging from seven to ten years.
“An investigation conducted by the Anti-Corruption Agency of the State Security Service of Georgia established that a person who had previously been convicted three times intended to appropriate a large amount of money belonging to others and convinced the family members of two defendants held in a penitentiary institution that, with the involvement and assistance of Tsotne Ivanishvili, the son of the Honorary Chairman of ‘Georgian Dream,’ and Gela (Geka) Geladze, the head of the State Security Service, he would secure their release and subsequently arrange a plea agreement for a non-custodial sentence. The accused periodically asked the victims for money, supposedly to prepare the necessary conditions and to obtain alternative expert reports acceptable to the defense side, and received various amounts of money. As a result, the accused fraudulently appropriated a large sum of money belonging to others — 11,300 lari — for the purpose of unlawful appropriation.
For this act, the detained person has been charged under Article 180, Part 3, subparagraph ‘b’ and Part 4, subparagraph ‘b’ of the Criminal Code of Georgia (fraud — appropriation of another’s property by deception for the purpose of unlawful appropriation, committed in a large amount, by a person who has been convicted two or more times for the unlawful appropriation of another’s property), which provides for a sentence of imprisonment ranging from seven to ten years.
The Prosecutor’s Office will apply to the court within the time limit established by law with a motion to impose detention as a measure of restraint against the accused,” the statement says.
