In Georgia, a pro-Russian party was penalized for undeclared funds

The Conservative Movement, a far-right pro-Russian party established by the creators of the Alt-Info TV station, was fined 68 thousand euros by the Tbilisi City Court for misrepresenting its finances and hiding non-monetary donations. The State Audit Office filed the requisite appeal with the Court. According to Georgian legislation and a June 3 ruling by the Supreme Court of Georgia, the party must now pay three times that amount.
The Audit reprimanded the party for two offenses, including failing to declare financial turnover for December in a 2021 declaration while growing offices around Georgia during the same month. According to the audit, the party concealed non-cash presents in the form of "branded objects and the remodeling of regional offices."
According to the head of the alt-right, Konstantine Morgoshia, the Auditor's Office "made it appear as if there were inappropriate expenditures or anything along those lines." He stated that the party has sufficient funds to continue functioning.
President Salome Zourabichvili commented on this case as follows: "It makes no sense for the activities of these pro-Russian, violent, homophobic, and anti-European groups to be spontaneous and unplanned in a country where more than 80 percent of the population supports EU membership and the European path." She stated that these are deliberate attempts to impair the country's European path, which do not reflect the opinions of the Georgian people and do not coincide with their choice to join the European Union.
