**Tax Investigation Sparks Debate in Georgia**
The Georgian Revenue Service has launched an investigation into the rental of a Tbilisi apartment by German Ambassador Peter Fischer, owned by the family of Mamuka Khazaradze, leader of “Lelo for Strong Georgia.” This move has sparked controversy and raised questions about tax law violations.
**Prime Minister Questions Tax Arrangement**
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze responded to the investigation by suggesting that there may be more to this story than initially thought.

He hinted that further revelations could be made in the future, suggesting that there may be more to this story than initially meets the eye.

They stated that tax control measures, as defined by law, will be carried out to determine whether Khazaradze’s family did indeed breach tax laws.
