“I would like to confirm to the public that a contribution has been made to the account of the State Security Agency – the LEPL (legal entity of public law) under the Special State Protection Service, to cover the expenses related to the flight Tbilisi-Munich-Tbilisi. The contribution was made by a private person in the amount of 34,000 Euros in GEL”- Chubinidze stated.

According to Chubinidze, the amount was paid in advance and will likely be slightly adjusted once Georgian Airways provides a detailed cost estimate, “which typically takes about a month and a half after the flight.”

“As for the budget payments, I would like to confirm to the public that at the initial stage, at the time of the order, it was clearly indicated that the payment would be made from non-budget funds.”- Anzor Chubinidze noted.
