The authorities of South Ossetia handed over two citizens, who had violated the state border of the Republic, to Georgia. This was reported by the State Security Committee of the Republic of South Ossetia.
As reported by the department, the citizens of Georgia, 53-year-old Mamulia Alexey and 51-year-old Dzhapiashvili Vano, were detained in 2024. They were found guilty of committing a crime under Part 3 of Article 322 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Illegal crossing of the State Border" with a sentence of imprisonment for the duration of the preliminary investigation.
The investigation was completed on January 21.
"Considering that the illegal crossing of the state border was committed by the said foreigners for the first time, clearly by accident and with their active repentance, a decision was made to terminate the criminal prosecution and to hand over Mamulia and Dzhapiashvili to Georgia," the Committee has noted.
The KGB has reminded that any attempts to violate the state border regime of the Republic of South Ossetia will be suppressed within the framework of current legislation; all possible directions of penetration of violators are in the control zones and sectors of influence of the border forces of South Ossetia.
