"Engurhesi" has refuted the allegations made by Ana Tsitlidze, a member of the "United National Movement" (UNM), regarding the confiscation of employees' identity cards and negotiations with Russian occupiers about closing the Enguri Bridge. The company labeled Tsitlidze's claims as "complete lies and disinformation."

In a statement, "Engurhesi" emphasized that such incidents never occurred, and the company intends to refer the matter to law enforcement for further investigation.

"We categorically declare that the statement spread by the representative of the 'United National Movement' about the confiscation of ID cards for the employees of 'Engurhesi' is a complete lie and misinformation!" the company stated. They further asserted that there is no physical possibility of any evidence existing to support such claims.

The company also dismissed the second accusation—about alleged negotiations with Russian occupiers regarding the closure of the Enguri Bridge—as "completely absurd and without any basis." The statement described the allegations as part of a broader campaign to discredit both the company and its chairman of the board, Levan Mebonia. "Tsitlidze is conducting a targeted campaign aimed at discrediting not only Levan Mebonia but also 'Engurhesi' LLC and its employees," the company noted, adding that similar accusations had been made in previous years.

"Engurhesi" underscored that it will pursue legal action to ensure that such statements are properly investigated and that a legal response is provided.

The denial came after Ana Tsitlidze claimed that her party had obtained evidence showing that the director of "Engurhesi" instructed internally displaced persons (IDPs) to surrender their identity cards and negotiated with Russian occupiers to close the Enguri Bridge in an effort to prevent IDPs from voting. Tsitlidze also mentioned that international partners were informed about the alleged incidents.
