Accounts of five funds that helped participants of pro-European protests have been arrested in Georgia. Among them are the Nanuki Foundation, the Tbilisi House of Human Rights and Prosperity Georgia.
According to the investigation, these funds financed "illegal and in some cases criminal and violent actions." In particular, they helped pay fines to detainees and transferred money to their families.
The prosecutor's office said it had frozen the accounts based on a court order.
"Considering that the so-called funds used most of the collected funds to finance gang violence and provide for the accused and their families, which creates the basis for involving people in illegal actions in order to obtain material benefits, the Prosecutor's Office of Georgia, based on a court decision on March 17, 2025, ordered the freezing of bank accounts and funds of the following organizations in all banking institutions of the country," the statement said.
The prosecutor's office clarified that since December 2024, about GEL 2 million has passed through the funds whose accounts have now been arrested.
