Can you recover a personal loan through police or court in Batumi, Georgia, if you transferred the money without a written agreement?

Even a simple handwritten IOU can help establish that a transfer was a loan rather than a voluntary payment; without it, proving the debt may be difficult.

Private messages alone may not be sufficient evidence of fraud for police or court; stronger proof of the loan terms and recipient’s identity may be needed.

If money was voluntarily sent to an account through a US-based crypto exchange or another foreign platform, Georgian police may have difficulty obtaining transaction records and evidence.

Georgian police involvement may be less likely when the dispute does not involve a Georgian citizen, Georgian bank, or local organization that processed the transfer, because of jurisdiction limits.
