Convicted cybercriminals had more than 3 million GEL worth of illegally obtained money and virtual assets confiscated in favor of the state, according to Georgia’s Prosecutor General Giorgi Gvarakidze, who presented the Prosecutor’s Office 2025 Activity Report to Parliament.

He noted that cybercriminals are increasingly operating as organized crime groups, while methods of concealing criminal activity are becoming more sophisticated on a daily basis. In response, the Prosecutor’s Office has been actively cooperating with virtual asset service providers and international interagency networks to ensure faster and more effective access to critical investigative information.

“Cybercriminals are increasingly operating as organized criminal groups, and the ability to conceal their criminal traces is continuously evolving. In response to this challenge, the Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia has successfully cooperated with virtual asset service providers and international interagency cooperation networks to ensure faster and more effective access to information important for investigations,” Gvarakidze said.

According to Gvarakidze, in 2025 the number of initiated prosecutions for cybercrime reached 246 individuals, marking the highest figure in the past five years.

“In 2025, we updated the methodological guidelines on the ‘Procedures for Seizing Virtual Assets’ and are using specialized cryptocurrency tracing and analysis software, which helps investigators properly seize and identify virtual assets in compliance with legal procedures,” he added.
