Mšbuḱâ - Less than two weeks after winning reelection, Mayor Detsëbali Soboli, is fighting for his political life after documents were leaked online which appears to show the mayor engaging in a number of financial crimes including accepting bribes and misusing campaign funds.
In August Soboli won his 2022 reelection with 42% of the vote. Soboli has been mayor of the city of Mšbuḱâ since 2018, when he flipped the city in favor of the Social Democratic party. It has been a stronghold of the SD since then. Prior to being elected mayor Soboli was a Progressive Democratic MP in the 5th Agausian Parliament. He lost his reelection bid in 2002. In 2010 the future mayor switched his party identification to Social Democrat before running for a seat in the regional council in 2013. He won and served until 2018, when he decided to run for mayor.
The records, which were leaked on social media and sent to multiple news agencies, appear to show that Detsëbali Soboli took bribes and kickbacks for providing contracts to local and international businessmen. The files, which date back to 2016 also allege that the mayor has repeatedly and indiscriminately used campaign funds to buy everything from mundane items to family vacations in Istanbul.
A statement provided from the mayor's office states that many of the alleged purchase were, "obscure, vague, and or taken out of context." No explanation was provided for the alleged bribes, kickbacks, or family vacations. At the time of publication, no investigations have been announced into the mayor's finances.
