According to the company's chief financial officer, George Maisuradze, a Russian citizen, who has a minor share in this business, is one of the company’s partners. In his words, he is a student of Russia, who took up this country's citizenship a few months ago in order to study in the Russian Federation.
"As it turned out, in this case the company did not have the right of funding political entity, and we, of course, obeyed the law," - he said.
As for the company's decision to fund "Georgian Dream", Maisuradze claims that it was the company's good will and it did not expect any benefits from the decision. CFO could not recall whether the company’s management had made the same kind of decisions on other political parties in recent years.
Based on the the State Audit Monitoring Service’s letter, the coalition gave the donated money back to Dugladze Wine Company and Geospirtprom.
