Summary

Georgia is a hostage of the World Bank and the IMF. These institutions give Georgia money, but Georgia cannot spend it.

Disproof

Since 1992, the World Bank Group, as a leading development partner, has provided concessional credits and loans to finance 55 projects in different sectors of the economy, totaling over $1.8 billion: bit.ly/2sdxWMb, // In March 2017, Georgia and the International Monetary Fund agreed a three-year programme worth $285 million to underpin economic reforms and encourage investors: reut.rs/2quC7CX, // No evidence that Georgia would not be able to spend the money.

Disproof

Vladimir Iglovikov was denied money because of the rules of the competition: "No payment shall be made (whether directly or via a third party/country) to an individual who is a national and/or resident of, or located in, any country with a score of 37 or less according to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index 2014" (Russia had a score of 27: bit.ly/1AgRivL), .
