BGI Special Alert - The “Russian Law” and Tax Relief for Transferring Offshore Assets
24 April 2024
On 3 April 2024, Georgia’s ruling “Georgian Dream” (GD) party introduced a bill on Transparency of Foreign Influence, widely dubbed as the “Russian Law”. By submitting this bill, GD revived an almost identical bill initiated in the Parliament in February 2023, which was effectively withdrawn after massive public protests in March 2023 accompanied by a public promise by the then GD chairman, the current Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, that the bill would never be reintroduced. Despite mass protests, on 17 April 2024, 83 GD- controlled MPs voted to pass the bill in the first reading. The bill still needs to be passed by two more readings and signed by the president to become a law (in case the president vetoes the bill, GD can override the veto with simple majority of votes).
