Former senior officials of the Ministry of Defense will be indicted today

Former senior officials of the Ministry of Defense will be indicted today, July, 28.

The State Security Service of Georgia [SSSG] detained a former Deputy Minister of Defence, former head of the Ministry`s Procurement Department, and a close relative of the then-Minister of Defence on charges of large-scale embezzlement.

The investigation has so far revealed that the criminal group devised and executed a plan that led to the embezzlement of GEL 1,333,728 from the state budget.

The arrests stem from a scheme in 2023 involving the misappropriation of a significant amount of funds belonging to the Ministry of Defence, carried out by a group using their official positions and pre-arranged agreement.
