In the combat against terrorism the innovations of the Georgian
authorities follow one another. Convinced that one of the most
corrupted structures is the court system, in March the Georgian
Government has adopted a decision. According to the document, all
those judges who will confess their being involved in corruption
will not be sued. Moreover, resigning from work their salary will be
preserved till the end of their lives.

Let us mention that in Georgia the average salary of judges is
$800. From the 136 Georgian judges 6 have already used this “clever”
decision. Confessing their being involved in corruption they have
provided an unprecedented pension for themselves.

Several lawyers are mildly speaking surprised by the decision of the
Georgian Government and confess that even the developed countries
cannot afford such a thing while their budgets are much richer than
the Georgian budget. The latter, by the way, is 1 billion 800 million
UA dollars.
