Guidance for reporting crime, seeking victim status, preserving evidence and assessing asset-recovery routes in Georgia.

A person or business reports suspected fraud and must present a clear factual record while protecting possible recovery options. The correct legal route depends on the documents, the participant's procedural status, the investigating authority and the current stage—not simply the label attached to the accusation.

Our organising principles

Prepare a coherent, evidenced complaint

02

Apply for and use victim rights where grounds exist

No automatic classification

Article references are not predictions of guilt or final legal advice. Investigators may open a case under one provision and prosecutors, defence counsel or the court may later support a different classification. Always verify the current Georgian text, the relevant article part and the complete case file.
