The Georgian National Bank has distanced itself from the companies and the sanctions.

The five vessels were sanctioned for transporting Russian energy products in July 2025.

The calls came in a report by the British Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee.

The court ruled that the group's organizer was Ali Khalilov, who refused the services of a lawyer from the very beginning.

The terminal has been accused of helping circumvent sanctions on Russian oil.

Some of those charged face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

A Bank of Georgia representative said the changes were made to comply with Western sanctions.
