I observe the developments and have my opinion, but the President has no right to interfere in such case and express her own opinion, – President of Georgia made this statement when commenting on the case of founders of TBC Bank – Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze.

According to President, until the Prosecutor’s Office and the Court are involved, the President’s comments can be perceived as interference.

The General Prosecutor’s Office presented charges to Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze, Chairman and Deputy Chairman of Supervisory Board of TBC Bank on the fact of legalization of illegal revenues in the amount of USD 16 754 000.
