The Parliament of Georgia has introduced a bill to amend the Law on Combating Corruption, requiring public officials, political figures, and employees in state agencies or enterprises to submit annual asset declarations to the Anti-Corruption Bureau for 30 years following a conviction for official or financial crimes.

Parliamentary majority leader Irakli Kirtskhalia emphasized the government’s continued commitment to fighting corruption, noting Georgia’s strong international rankings. The new amendments aim to prevent the legalisation and use of illicit assets even after convicted individuals have served their sentences.

The law targets a wide range of crimes under the Criminal Code, including bribery, embezzlement, money laundering, fraud, tax evasion, misuse of official authority, and more. It also empowers active property monitoring for long-term accountability.

Kirtskhalia stated that this initiative reflects the government’s goal to make Georgia one of the top three least corrupt countries in the world.
