Article Abstract:
Organized crime groups were able to penetrate into some governments of the newly established independent states due to a period of weak state control, following the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991. The highest levels of government in Georgia were infiltrated by powerful political-criminal clans by consolidating their power in several European countries including Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK.
