"I do not think there is a black cash box in the party," the statement was made by the Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure on the possible financing of the Georgian Dream election campaign with black money.

Maia Tskitishvili responded to the secret recordings obtained by "Courier", according to which the Omega Group was asked to transfer 2.5 Tetri from every sold pack of cigarettes to the Georgian Dream Fund.

According to the minister, an investigation has been launched into the case and she is waiting for the result.

Maia Tskitishvili does not rule out that the secret recordings are published purposefully.
