Georgia Raids Homes of Ex-PM Garibashvili and Other Former Officials in Coordinated Sweep

Prosecutors cite ongoing investigations, giving no details on alleged offences.

Overview

  • Anti-corruption prosecutors and security agents carried out simultaneous searches at 22 locations, Chief Prosecutor Giorgi Gvarakidze said.
  • Homes and offices linked to ex–prime minister Irakli Garibashvili, former security chief Grigol Liluashvili, and ex–prosecutor general Otar Partskhaladze were searched.
  • Authorities reported seizing large amounts of cash, documents, and various electronic devices during the operations.
  • Officials did not specify alleged crimes or confirm arrests tied to the raids, and separate protest-related detentions have reached 62 since a large rally two weeks ago.
  • The targeting of figures long associated with Georgian Dream was interpreted as a possible intra-elite shakeup, with attention on UK‑sanctioned, Russia‑linked Otar Partskhaladze.
