In November 2023, the non-governmental organization Transparency International Georgia published a report alleging that several members of parliament, including Aleksandre Dalakishvili, had submitted incomplete asset declarations. According to the report, Dalakishvili's 2022 declaration did not include information about a 50% share in a company named "Goldens." The report stated this constituted a violation of the country's asset declaration rules, which require the declaration of any owned company shares.^[6]
