During a briefing on August 27, Razhden Kuprashvili, the Head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, presented the financial monitoring results of political parties. 

He announced that, based on these results, the Bureau has requested all political parties to submit their financial statements for the first eight months of the year by August 31. Additionally, Kuprashvili called on the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the National Democratic Institute (NDI) to disclose information about the grants they have awarded to Georgian organizations. The Bureau also demanded that members of the "Freedom Square" movement reveal all their financial reports.

According to the Bureau’s findings, major opposition parties in Georgia do not disclose or incompletely disclose the financial donations they receive. Kuprashvili emphasized that these parties’ political campaigns and activities may be financed by foreign donor organizations or other sources, which in turn pay funds to NGOs affiliated with these political parties. 

The political parties implicated include European Georgia – Movement for Freedom; Yes to Europe – Strategy Aghmashenebeli; United National Movement; Girchi – More Freedom; Strong Georgia – Lelo, For People, Freedom Square; Elene Khoshtaria – Droa; and Ahali – Gvaramia, Melia.

Kuprashvili warned that supporting political parties and processes with foreign money threatens a fair electoral process. He further stated that political parties receiving foreign funding, along with civil society organizations, organize various events across Georgia, publish politically contextual brochures, and produce videos supporting certain parties. He noted that Georgian law prohibits financing political parties by non-Georgian citizens and legal entities registered in Georgia or abroad.

"In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 26 Prima of the Organic Law of Georgia 'On Political Associations of Citizens'," Kuprashvili stated, "the Anti-Corruption Bureau has decided to order the ‘Freedom Square’ Movement, the EECMD, the Chairman of these organizations, Levan Tsutskiridze, and 24 members of the Movement to be transparent in their finances. They are obliged to submit financial reports to the Anti-Corruption Bureau in accordance with the law, which the Anti-Corruption Bureau will make public."

Citing high public interest, Kuprashvili also focused on the "Democracy Festival (DemFest)" organized by the EECMD and financed by the "Danish Institute for Parties and Democracy." He claimed that the event had a political nature, intended to show support for certain parties while being preferential to them, noting that not all parties were invited to participate. He also stated that the series of events featured organizations linked to different political parties. Kuprashvili mentioned that "the process of obtaining evidence in the above case is underway, and the summary decision will be announced to the public."

Addressing the NDI and IRI, Kuprashvili acknowledged the importance of international observation organizations and their role during elections. He stressed that these organizations "should be objective observers of the elections" and called on them to ensure transparency in the grants they provide "so that the events they fund are not used to support political parties." He underscored that "neutrality and objectivity are crucial for election monitoring organizations."
