По словам члена парламентского большинства Беки Одишария, отец премьер-министра Гарибашвили, как родители других государственных чиновников всю жизнь работали, а не тунеядствовали, а потому неудивительно, что они владеют определенным доходом.

On September 12, a boarding team consisting of 12 officers from the Law Enforcement Tactical Group within the Coast Guard Department of the Georgian Border Police departed for Greece to join the NATO Maritime Security Operation (MSO) known as “Sea Guardian.”
Following a successful four-level assessment by NATO, which took several years, the tactical units of the Coast Guard under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia were designated as operational partners for the “Sea Guardian” operation in the Mediterranean Sea in 2022. Georgia is the first non-NATO country to achieve this status.
According to the Ministry of Interior press release, the inclusion of Georgian boarding team in the NATO operation underscores Georgia’s contribution to Euro-Atlantic security and enhances the Georgian alignment with NATO’s maritime components. Participation in this operation, conducted under the alliance’s auspices, marks a “significant milestone” in the deepening practical cooperation between NATO’s Allied Maritime Command (MARCOM) and the Coast Guard of the Border Police. The Ministry also emphasizes that this participation represents an “excellent” opportunity to “display the Georgian flag and deepen relations with NATO units”.
Notably, NATO’s “Sea Guardian” operation stands as the sole mission focused on combating terrorism, facilitating unrestricted maritime navigation, bolstering maritime security capabilities, preventing illicit economic activities, and fostering awareness of the maritime environment within its operational zone.
As outlined in the release, upon the arrival of Coast Guard personnel in Greece, a preparatory exercise will precede the commencement of the operation. Subsequently, following the training, the Georgian contingent will be deployed to a NATO naval unit, where they will participate in the NATO operation in the Mediterranean Sea.

Anzor Chubinidze, the head of the Special State Protection Service, stated that the financial contribution in connection with the departure of the PM Irakli Garibashvili to Munich on route to the USA was made by a private person, Garibashvili’s father Tariel Garibashvili.
“I would like to confirm to the public that a contribution has been made to the account of the State Security Agency – the LEPL (legal entity of public law) under the Special State Protection Service, to cover the expenses related to the flight Tbilisi-Munich-Tbilisi. The contribution was made by a private person in the amount of 34,000 Euros in GEL”- Chubinidze stated.
According to Chubinidze, the amount was paid in advance and will likely be slightly adjusted once Georgian Airways provides a detailed cost estimate, “which typically takes about a month and a half after the flight.”
“As for the budget payments, I would like to confirm to the public that at the initial stage, at the time of the order, it was clearly indicated that the payment would be made from non-budget funds.”- Anzor Chubinidze noted.
