Enver is the cover name of the Main Intelligence Directorate resident, who was found to be an agent of the secret services department of the Georgian Interior Ministry. He helped the authorities to uncover a major espionage network, which had been working in Georgia for many years.
As an ex-officer of the Soviet army, he used to cooperate with the secret services. Several years ago he was ordered by Georgian secret services to gain the MID administration's trust and was appointed by Russian secret services to head an espionage network in Georgia.
Details of the story are very similar to those of the scandal with Russian intelligence officers in the USA. Tbilisi was waiting for proposals from Moscow to exchange uncovered agents for intelligence officers, who had been sentenced in Russia during the Five Day War with Georgia. However, Russia found it impossible to cooperate with Georgia as it had with the US. With regard to the case, 15 people were arrested. Dozens are under investigation for collaboration. Among those arrested, there are both Georgian and Russian citizens. They are the heads of the "Saybolt" company Armen Gevorkyan and Ruben Shikoyan, businessman Petr Devrishidza and a courier of the MID, Yuri Skrilprnikov. Georgy Kalatozishvili. Tbilisi.
