A Georgian court released Giorgi Bachiashvili early on Feb. 18, 2026, after he pleaded guilty to stealing $39 million in Bitcoin, with charges against his parents dropped.
Giorgi Bachiashvili, a former aide to Georgian billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, was released early from prison on February 18, 2026, after pleading guilty to embezzling cryptocurrency.
He had fled Georgia in March 2025, was arrested near the southern border, and sentenced to additional time for illegal border crossing.
Under a plea deal, his sentence was reduced to a suspended year and a fine, and charges against his parents were dropped.
The case, involving allegations of stealing $39 million in Bitcoin from a 2015 loan for a crypto mining venture, drew scrutiny from Transparency International, which questioned the evidence and suggested political motives.
