The Georgian Prosecutor’s Office arrested three people, including two notaries, for misusing their authority and swindling money.
According to the scheme, the detainees identified themselves as brokers to clients interested in having their apartments encumbered and offered their services. They also portrayed other members of the illicit group as apartment owners and signed contracts that were certified by a notary rule.
The detainees managed to misappropriate GEL 2,686,700 from 94 victims and now face 7 to 10 years in prison if found guilty.
