In Akhaltsikhe, in a recreational zone, on the first line of Akhaltsikhe Lake, the Akhaltsikhe Municipality City Hall has granted a permit to build an 11-story residential building to large (160,000 GEL) donors of the "Dream". The city's main recreation area will be turned into a courtyard of one of the buildings. `

The multi-apartment residential building under construction on the artificial lake in Akhaltsikhe belongs to LLC "Maxterra". This company was founded by Mamuka Kupradze on June 5, 2025. Three days earlier, on June 2, he purchased 3,998 sq. m. of land at 61g Beka Jakeli Street. In July, Mamuka Kupradze applied to the Akhaltsikhe Municipality City Hall for a permit to build a residential building and soon received it.

After that, on August 22, he sold 60% of the company's shares to his brother-in-law, Imeda Mumladze, and 40% - to Iakob Kublashvili. On September 9, Mamuka Kupradze also transferred the plot of land on the lake to Mixterra LLC, already owned by Iakob Kublashvili and Imeda Mumladze (1 sq. m. area - for 50 USD).

Imeda Mumladze and Iakob Kublashvili are donors to the Georgian Dream. Imeda Mumladze deposited 10,000 GEL into the Georgian Dream account in 2025. Iakob Kublashvili donated 120,000 GEL to the ruling party in 2023-2024. Her father, Yuri Kublashvili, is also a donor to the Georgian Dream, who donated 30,000 GEL in 2021. Yuri Kublashvili’s Akhaltsikhe Sleeper-Shuttle Factory LLC received 3,062,274 GEL from 36 state tenders won in 2012-2023. The main purchaser was the Forestry Agency.

Akhaltsikhe Lake is the city's main recreation area, but it does not have the status of a recreational zone, as the municipality has not yet created a general development plan. Nevertheless, the Akhaltsikhe Municipality City Hall calls Akhaltsikhe Lake a recreational zone and spent about 2 million GEL on its rehabilitation in 2021 alone.

In 2021, the pre-election promise of Irakli Lazarashvili, the former mayor of Akhaltsikhe Municipality, was that the city would have a development plan during his mayoral term. In 2023, when work on the master plan began, he said that “one of the worst things that can happen is senseless development across Georgia. The ugliness of buildings and yards. We are constantly fighting not to get high-rise buildings in the city center, which we already got once.” Irakli Lazarashvili did not have time to develop a master plan before the end of his mayoral term in 2025, but he did manage to issue a permit for the construction of an 11-story building in a recreational zone.

This is not the first time Imeda Mumladze has received a benefit from the state. In 2020, her company, Atlant Oil LLC, together with former Akhaltsikhe City Council official Mamuka Mikeladze, illegally built a gas station at the entrance to the city on state-owned land. After Transparency International Georgia published this fact, the City Hall announced that the company had been fined for unauthorized construction, however, the Property Agency auctioned the state-owned land on which the building was already being built and sold it to Imeda Mumladze. Currently, this company belongs solely to her.

The above circumstances demonstrate that local self-government bodies do not take into account the interests of society when making decisions and do not exclude possible risks of corruption in the process of issuing permits. Impartial and objective investigative bodies should have already investigated the legality of the construction of a residential building on the shores of Akhaltsikhe Lake.
