Producing, selling and advertising maps, or other items, both in electronic and print versions, that misrepresent Georgia’s territorial integrity will become a punishable offense. The penalties range from a fine to imprisonment for up to two years.
The amendments made to the Criminal Code of Georgia went into force on July 2. A person will be released from criminal responsibility only if s/he hands over an offensive item to Georgian authorities voluntarily before the launch of the investigation, and if no other signs of crime are identified in their actions.
