The head of the Anti-Corruption Department of the Main Office of Prosecutor Zaza Kachibia and the prosecutor of this department Giorgi Kondakhashvili held a press conference regarding this issue.

According to them, the investigation found that Iaman Chagatai received 1 million and 955 thousand GEL loan from the state budget for the purpose of building the citrus factory in the village Khutsubani of Kobuleti Region where approximately 300 Georgian citizens would have been employed.
