The work of the Special Investigation Service of Georgia and cooperation with the Czech Republic were discussed on Wednesday in a meeting between Koka Katsitadze, the Head of the Service, and Petr Kubernát, the Czech Ambassador to the country.
Katsitadze noted the work done by the Special Investigation Service together with the Georgian Parliament to fulfil the recommendations of the European Commission for strengthening the agency and ensuring its independence, the Service said.
The meeting also focused on the joint participation of the Service and the General Inspectorate of Security Forces of the Czech Republic in international networks of independent investigative bodies.
The officials also reviewed prospects of strengthening their partnership.
Georgia’s Special Investigation Service, an agency probing abuse of power at institutions, on Wednesday announced the creation of its Section for Protection of the Rights of Victims.
Koka Katsitadze, the Head of the Special Investigative Service of Georgia, on Friday said the body’s investigative actions had led to 153 individuals being charged with crimes since the Service’s founding in 2022.
Georgia’s Special Investigation Service has become a member of the European Partners against Corruption, an independent organisation aiming to develop police supervision mechanisms and effective systems of anti-corruption work, implement the best international practices among member institutions and strengthen cooperation.
The Special Investigation Service of Georgia on Monday said its investigative actions had led to 14 individuals being charged with disclosure of personal information of victims between August-October.
