According to the State Security Service, since the investigative actions regarding the use of the substance "camite" banned in the 1930s are over, the State Security Service continues the investigation into a possbile crime of assisting a foreign organization in hostile activities.
According to the First Deputy Head of the State Security Service, Lasha Maghradze, the information voiced in the BBC film regarding the use of "camite" in Georgia is deliberate disinformation.
“The irrefutable evidence obtained by the investigation gives us the basis for drawing a conclusion that the information voiced in the BBC film about the use of the so-called chemical weapon “camite” against protesters in Georgia is deliberate disinformation and serves to harm the interests of Georgia, in which, unfortunately, Georgian citizens are also involved and, together with the authors of the BBC film, their actions are of a well-planned, organized and campaign nature to achieve specific hostile goals against Georgia.
Accordingly, since one of the two directions to be investigated in detail by the investigation, which concerned the use of a substance prohibited in the 1930s, is over, the State Security Service continues the investigation into a possbile crime, which is provided for by Article 319 of the Criminal Code of Georgia and pertains to assisting a foreign organization in hostile activities.
As the body responsible for the security of any self-respecting state, the State Security Service of Georgia will continue to pay special attention to the issues of political stability and security, as one of the main challenges of our country in the field of security," said Maghradze.
