Georgia Investigates 'Sabotage' Over Fake News About Russian Tourists

The Georgian State Security Service has opened an investigation into a disinformation campaign targeting Russian tourists. The campaign involved fake bot accounts spreading false news about hostile attitudes towards Russians in Georgia, including claims that local guides left tourists alone in the forest and restaurant workers deliberately spoiled their food. The service believes the goal is to create a false impression among the audience that Russians are met hostilely in Georgia, potentially harming the country's tourism industry and economy.
