The National Bank of Georgia (NBG) independently referred complaints and suspicious findings concerning former board member Nana Keinishvili to law enforcement authorities as soon as the information was collected, NBG President Natia Turnava said. She stressed that the central bank is particularly interested in ensuring an objective investigation and establishing the truth.
Turnava said the NBG submitted the information to the Prosecutor's Office before the allegations became public. She added that the bank and its management are ready to provide any additional documents and cooperate fully with investigators.
The Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into Keinishvili's alleged illegal business activities based on statements and audio recordings submitted by executives of Bitxchange LLC. They allege that Keinishvili was involved in business activities and exercised control over a network of companies regulated by the NBG, with ownership registered under family members and affiliated individuals.
On October 10, 2026, the NBG Board temporarily suspended Qeinishvili from participating in the preparation and adoption of board decisions. She announced her resignation on October 17, categorically denying the allegations against her.
