Four detained for illegal import of vehicles and bribery

As the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia reports, officers of its General Inspectorate have detained a group of criminals suspected of purchasing stolen vehicles. Employees of the Customs Department were also involved in the case, having allegedly illegally imported high-priced vehicles with forged identification codes from the Russian Federation.

For performing a registration and examination service the above mentioned detainees, allegedly part of an organised group, asked an employee of the Service Agency of the Interior Ministry for a 500 GEL bribe. As a result of this they were detained.
