Special operation in Tbilisi - Prosecutor’s Office investigating transnational call centre fraud at several locations in the capital

The Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia said it was carrying out investigative actions at several locations in Tbilisi as part of the international investigation against transnational crime involving fraudulent call centre services.

“We intensively continue to fight against the transnational crime together with law enforcement agencies of European partner countries, in order to expose involved individuals and organisers of the crimes.

The Prosecutor’s Office has carried out several investigative activities, including large-scale operations in dozens of locations on the territory of Georgia, seizing hundreds of electronic information carriers, documents and a large amount of money after the searches of the residential houses and workplaces of individuals involved in the crime”, - reads the statement of the agency.

The Office also took special measures against fraudulent online platforms and persons involved in alleged crimes, as a result of which a criminal group was identified, whose actions caused EUR 89 million of damage to 33,000 citizens of various European countries in March 2023.
