Khutsishvili stated that every case highlighted by media or organizations is thoroughly reviewed, noting that most recent claims were also checked and found unrelated to Georgia. He stressed that suspicious transactions may occur worldwide, but this does not mean they should be linked to Georgia without basis.According to the minister, Georgia is responsible only for transactions conducted within the country or through its territory. He said that none of the mentioned transactions involved the export of goods from Georgia to sanctioned destinations, adding that all operations potentially linked to sanctions are under strict control.Addressing re-export questions, Khutsishvili explained that vehicles exported from Georgia are shipped precisely to the countries listed in official customs data, and any further movement is the responsibility of the receiving states. He underscored that Georgia cannot be accountable for the entire global logistics chain and is successfully fulfilling its own responsibilities.
