Reports: Financial Police Office Attacked in Shida Kartli

Unknown armed men opened fire on the Shida Kartli regional headquarters of the Financial Police in Gori late August 10, causing no injuries.

After a few minutes of random shooting in the direction of the office, the attackers left the scene, according to the officers of the Financial Police..

But chief of the regional police Vladimer Jugeli cast doubts about the testimonies of the Financial Police officers. He told reporters that the bullet holes in the building of the Financial Police are old and allegedly shot by the employees of the Financial Police themselves.

The Financial Police, which was established last year, is charged with fighting against smuggling and other economic crimes.
