“For five days, society has been observing a campaign plotted in advance by foreign intelligence services against Georgia that aimed to undermine our country’s stability and tarnish Georgia’s image,” announced Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze during the briefing at the Government Administration.

According to the PM, individuals well-known to the public, both inside and outside the country, actively participated in this anti-Georgian campaign.

“Inside the country, ‘usual suspects’ actively engaged in the campaign, and I mean foreign agents, radical media outlets, radical NGOs and radical political activists. The documentary prepared by the British broadcaster, which is entirely based on fake assumptions and fabricated stories, has become an artificial reason for politically motivated groups to wage a new hybrid war against Georgia and the Georgian people, and to cause anger artificially both inside our country and in the international arena.

The report prepared by the British broadcaster contained various verified false accusations, of which the most sensitive accusation was the alleged use of the banned chemical substance ‘camite.’

The conducted investigation unequivocally confirmed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) has never used or imported this substance into Georgia. Moreover, the investigation determined that the MIA used neither ‘camite’ nor any other banned substances when dispersing violent protesters last year,” he said.

Deputy Head of the State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG), Lasha Maghradze, stated at a briefing: “The investigation has established that the substance “o-Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile” was used for crowd control on the night of December 4-5, 2024, with “propylene glycol” solution used as a solvent, and neither of these substances falls under the category of banned substances.” According to SSSG, the MIA has never purchased ‘bromobenzyl cyanide,’ also known as ‘camite.’
