The cross-border operation coordinated by Europol, the EU’s police agency, resulted in the arrest of four Georgians who are believed to be part of a criminal group that ransacked libraries across the continent, stealing at least 170 valuable collectors’ books. In total, the group is believed to have caused €2.5 million worth of financial damages and an “immeasurable patrimonial loss to society” ...

Thousands of people have attended a pro-government rally in the Georgian capital Tbilisi in support of a controversial foreign influence law.

Critics say it could undermine democracy and derail the country’s chances of joining the European Union. Similar legislation in Russia was used to suppress voices and groups critical of the Kremlin. Supporters of the bill - proposed by the ruling Georgian Dream party - say ensuring...

Thousands of people in Georgia have again taken to the streets of the capital Tbilisi to protest against the controversial foreign influence transparency law. The divisive draft law requires media and non-commercial organisations to register as being under the foreign influence if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad. Critics have dubbed it 'the Russian law', because Moscow uses similar legislation to stigmatise media and organisations seen as being at odds with the Kremlin. Many protesters fear the proposed legislation would undermine democracy and derail the country’s chan...

It would also allow authorities to more strictly monitor communications, including internal discussions, by such organizations. The bill was first introduced in 2023 by Prime Minister Irakli Kobak...
