State Does Not Pay Debt to a Citizen

February 9, 2009
State owes money to Amiran Mikeladze (photo). The latter owes money to Tax Inspection because of unpaid debt of the state. Tax inspection sequestered the estate of Mikeladze in order to get the debt from him. On February 6 Batumi City Court ordered to sell the sequestered property at the auction.

Estate (land of 868 sq. meters) with construction on it in the village of Makhvilauri in Khelvachauri district is ready to be sold according to the decision of Gocha Putkaradze, Judge at Batumi City Court. Corresponding agencies have not decided when it will be sold. Ucha Mukutadze, an official from the Tax Inspection states that their agency has other debtors but properties of any of them have been sold yet. However, according to the law the inspection has right to sell the sequestered property of Amiran Mikeladze, individual entrepreneur.

Amiran Mikeladze has debt to the Tax Inspection because Military Unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia did not implement the responsibility assumed in the agreement with Mikeladze.

Individual entrepreneur Amiran Mikeladze: “Based on the agreement since May 10 2004 I had been supplying military unit (2060) of the Division III of Interior Army of Batumi with bakery; more precisely with bread. I was responsible to supply the unit with product and the Division III of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to pay me for the service. 7 months later the debt amounted to 12 000 GEL. I warned the officials of the division about the debt and finally I had to appeal to the court.”

Tbilisi City Court satisfied the appeal of Amiran Mikeladze against material-technical and financial department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The department had to pay 10 344 GEL to Mikeladze.

Corresponding execution document was also drawn up with registration number 2/97/42-06 which was issued by Tbilisi City Court on April 20, 2006. According to the document material-technical and financial department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was ordered to pay money to Amiran Mikeladze, individual entrepreneur. However, the order is not executed yet.

The entrepreneur holds an appeal of Tbilisi Execution Bureau to the department dated by May 3, 2006.

“According to the Law on Execution Procedures of Georgia, in order to guarantee the execution you are obliged to implement the decision of the court within three months.”
 
However three years have passed since then. “My debt to the Tax Inspection is fined and the debt is increasing. Unfortunately, I cannot get the money for what I have this debt. Furthermore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not pay me the debt which was ordered by court,” said Mikeladze.

On January 26, 2009 Adjara bureau of Human Rights Center sent official letter to Tbilisi Execution Bureau and inquired why the state has not paid the debt yet. The center has not received the reply yet. Representatives of the chancellery of the execution bureau explained that the letter was sent to Lasha Khutsishvili whose mobile telephone (877 111 255) has been unavailable for two days already. He does not reply phone calls in his office either.
