Signs of Corruption in Land Privatization Process in Gardabani Municipality
Tbilisi. Transparency International – Georgia studied a privatization process of 13,850 sq/m lots of land in the village of Teleti in Gardabani municipality and believes there are signs of corruption. ''Specifically, as a result of actions of the National Agency of State Property and the local self-government, parties interested in purchasing the land were given unequal treatment. Therefore, we encourage law-enforcement agencies to take notice of this case and fully investigate it.
The suspicion of possible corruption is further supported by the fact that the representatives of I.O. tried to sell the same property to the disadvantaged Well3 LLC for 2.5 times higher price just a couple of days after purchasing the land. For this there is supporting evidence.
We believe that the law-enforcement agencies must take notice of this case and fully and objectively investigate facts of a possible crime'', is noted in the statement.
