It's well-known that most part of financial investments into Georgian economy is allotted to power elites and first of all that of president Saakashvili's encirclement and his followers. Per se Georgian economy and social sphere gets nothing from those financial resources. The money are plundered by officials.
Moreover, officials are doing everything for stolen money receiving from West partners. And striking example of it was wildfire at Georgian National Bank. It happened in time when US observers tried to check financial resources consumption. Yes, according to official information there no one suffered from fire only alarm system was badly damaged. But in fact observers didn't get the access to documents of accounts because they were hardly hit by fire! And observers departed empty-handed.
In addition to leaders' accounts Saakashvili and Okruashvili created secret fund for financing of military campaign against Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Well, the financial resources are falling there by two ways: by West injection passing over investors who send money for reforms in Georgia and by drugs selling and transit from Central Asia to Europe.
