Charges involving state security are the most severe and complex allegations an individual can face within the Georgian legal system, often carrying the maximum penalty of life imprisonment. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we provide a specialized, highly discreet defense for clients accused of High Treason, Espionage, and Conspiracy to Overthrow the Government. These cases are fundamentally different from ordinary criminal proceedings; they are investigated by the State Security Service (SUS), often involve classified "top secret" evidence, and are tried in closed court sessions where public scrutiny is absent. Our defense strategy begins with a rigorous challenge to the classification of evidence, ensuring that the prosecution cannot hide weak proof behind the veil of "state secrets." We possess the necessary clearance and expertise to navigate these opaque proceedings, ensuring that our clients' procedural rights are not sacrificed in the name of national security.
Specifically, regarding charges of State Treason (Article 307) and Espionage (Article 314), we focus on dismantling the prosecution's narrative of intent and foreign collaboration. These charges are frequently based on surveillance data, wiretaps, and circumstantial associations, which we subject to intense forensic scrutiny to prove alternative, innocent explanations for the client's conduct. Furthermore, we represent individuals facing Terrorism charges (Articles 323-331), ranging from material support to active participation. In this volatile climate, we fight against the broad application of anti-terror laws, working to separate legitimate political or religious expression from actual criminal intent. Whether the goal is a complete acquittal due to lack of evidence or negotiating a plea to avoid a life sentence, our firm stands as a formidable barrier between the accused and the overwhelming power of the state apparatus.
