The Prosecutor General’s Office and the Interior Ministry of Georgia have arrested 11 individuals for providing a venue for and supporting prostitution in the capital Tbilisi.
The Ministry said its investigation had found the offenders had “systematically provided” hotel rooms located on Khizanishvili, Agladze and Chirnakhuli streets in Gldani, Isani and Didube districts to women engaged in prostitution in exchange for money.
It also said the women paid the offenders in cash, and added law enforcement had seized money during their search of the hotels.
The group faces between four and seven years in prison.
