The video footage taken in 2016, involving Lasha Tordia, is an attempt to cover up corruption.

Representatives of non-governmental organizations think that this is a direct pressure on the head of the audit service. According to them, there are question marks on why this material was published right now and whetherthis will be a reason for the early release from the position of Lasha Tordia.

"This footage is a clear example of how the authorities can blackmail any employee, any person who exercises his functions effectively and reveal coorupt actions of ex-senior officials who are still close to the authorities. The dissemination of these staff creates a new problem in the law enforcement agencies and does not answer the questions, which deals with the audit conclusion, "-said Giorgi Mshvenieradze.

The civil sector calls on the investigative agencies once more to investigate the attack and demand from the parliament to create an investigative commission.

"This is a kind of attempt to cover the main topic that is in the country, which is a serious problem," Sopho Vedzuri said.
