The Prosecutor`s Office of Georgia has charged one person with fraudulently acquiring a large amount of money.

An investigation conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs revealed that the defendant, who was convicted of fraud, fraudulently transferred 45,360 GEL to the victim and appropriated it, under the pretext that he would purchase mobile phones at a price lower than the market value and that the profits from their sale would be divided equally.

The detainee was charged under Article 180, Part 3, Subparagraphs "b" and "c" of the Criminal Code of Georgia (fraud committed in a large amount, committed repeatedly), which provides for up to 9 years of imprisonment as a form and measure of punishment.

The Prosecutor`s Office has already petitioned the court to impose imprisonment as a preventive measure on the accused.
