According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia , officers from the Central Criminal Police Department, during investigative activities — including covert operations based on a court order — established that the suspects were systematically facilitating prostitution. Specifically, they were renting out premises for a fee in Tbilisi, on Nikolozade, Vashlovani, Kostava, and Akhvlediani streets.

The investigation also found that the administrators of these establishments were helping women engaged in prostitution to find clients. In return, they would pay a portion of the income earned from providing sexual services to the accused.
