Georgi Gvarakidze: The cases of Gharibashvili and Liluashvili will be included in the 2026 report, but it will not specify by name which person had what brand of watch or what amount of money was confiscated; as for Kaladze, we cannot hold another person accountable for the crime of one individual

According to the Prosecutor General, Giorgi Gvarakidze, the cases of former Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili and former State Security Service head Grigol Liluashvili will be included in the 2026 report, but it will not be specified by name which individual had which brand of watch or what amount of money was confiscated, as this is presented as an aggregated figure.

Gvarakidze was asked about the issue by Giorgi Sharashidze, a member of the “Gakharia for Georgia” party.

The Prosecutor General stated that court verdicts are public and anyone can read in the judgment “what went where.”

“Mr. Giorgi, we are not and will not hide anything. All statistical data collected over the year regarding seized or confiscated property is included in the document. It cannot be presented by name showing which person had which property, brand, or amount of money confiscated, but in the cases you are interested in, no verdicts have been issued yet. As you know, after a verdict is delivered, confiscated property - whether assets or money - must be transferred to the state budget. As for the cases you mentioned, they will be included in the 2026 report, but I can already tell you that even there it will not be shown by name which person had which brand of watch confiscated or what amount of money - it is an aggregated indicator. As you know, court verdicts are public and anyone can read in them what went where,” Gvarakidze said.

Additionally, Gvarakidze responded to Giorgi Sharashidze’s question regarding whether the mayor of Tbilisi, Kakha Kaladze, bears responsibility for crimes committed in the city hall and the director of the kindergartens management agency, stating that criminal liability does not imply collective responsibility.

“Criminal responsibility does not include collective liability. It is individual, and we cannot hold another person accountable for a crime committed by one individual. There was also a question about whether a supervisor is held accountable - this is not the case. One person is responsible for a crime committed by one person, unless there are signs of another offense. If there are such signs, we will not hesitate to bring not only supervisors but also other officials to criminal responsibility,” said Giorgi Gvarakidze.
