According to the agency, none of the sanctioned companies conducted business activities in Georgia.
“The Ministry of Finance’s Investigative Service has launched and is conducting investigations into the companies sanctioned by the United Kingdom yesterday (LLC ‘AIFORI,’ LLC ‘ARVIX,’ and LLC ‘Rapira Group’), in connection with which concrete legal results have already been achieved.
None of the sanctioned companies operated within Georgia.
The investigation established that LLC ‘AIFORI’ and LLC ‘ARVIX’ were fictitiously registered in the names of other individuals in exchange for compensation, while in reality they operated in Russia, specifically in Moscow, and possessed no assets or offices in Georgia.
In this criminal case, by the court verdict of April 28, 2026, three defendants were sentenced to fines of 30,000 GEL and suspended sentences, while the organizer of the crime, Davit Jintcharadze, was sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in prison.
As for the illegal activities of LLC ‘Rapira Group,’ it was established that the company, registered through a power of attorney by a British citizen, operated exclusively for Russian citizens through the website ‘rapira.net,’ and its domain is registered with a Russian registrar. The company had no turnover on Georgian bank accounts, no assets, and no offices in Georgia, and its registration was purely formal in nature.
The Investigative Service of the Ministry of Finance of Georgia, in coordination with international partners, continues active efforts to combat financial and cybercrime, as well as to prevent and suppress any attempts to circumvent international sanctions,” the statement said.
