One was arrested for attempted fraud several days ago.

Police reported that the detainee promised an Iranian national to help obtain a Georgian ID card and passport in exchange for $7,000.

Initially, the detainee received 440 GEL ($153/€136) from the citizen of Iran. Afterwards, police officers detained him.

The detainee faces from four to seven years in jail.

Earlier on July 17, Georgian police detained two for using a large amount of counterfeit $100 bills who brought the banknotes from Turkey and used  them in Georgia’s western region of Adjara.

Law enforcers seized $10,000 in counterfeit banknotes as evidence.
