9 persons detained with charges of swindling
Employees of the Georgian Steel Metallurgical Plant have been detained for inflicting material damage on Indian investors via a knavish scheme. Representatives of the Special Operative Department exposed the crime.
As reported, the employees of the Georgian Steel Company had a bargain with contractors (suppliers of scrap metals), who used to artificially increase the weight of raw materials. In some cases they used to add some slag admixture to the scrap metals. As a result of the mentioned activities, the detainees used to misappropriate large amounts of money.
From the operative activities carried out by law enforcers, 9 persons have been detained. If they are found guilty, they may face ten years of imprisonment. (Rustavi 2)
