A former employee of the Georgian Interior Ministry, who is charged with the illegal deprivation of liberty and torture, has been detained in Ukraine, the Georgian Chief Prosecutor’s Office reported earlier today.
Giorgi Samushia, who went on the run in 2015, has been found and apprehended by Interpol.
Samushia, on the demand of former top law enforcement officials of the United National Movement government-David Akhalaia, Giorgi Kalandadze, Megis Kardava and Roman Shamatava, illegally detained Georgian citizen Elberg Koberidze in the summer of 2012.
Then the individuals tortured Koberidze to make him admit to the invented charge-a planning of a terrorist act,” the Georgian Chief Prosecutor’s Office says.
Koberidze was unconscious for 10 days and was revived with the help of doctors in Gori Military Hospital.
Samushia was charged with the case in December 2015, under the Georgian Dream leadership and was sent to nine-month pre-trial detention.
However, while in detention the court changed the decision and released him on bail, when Samushia illegally left the country.
The Tbilisi City Court has sent Georgia’s former Minister of Defence under the United National Movement leadership, Bacho Akhalaia, to prison for nine years for a high-profile torture case involving Colonel Sergo Tetradze in 2011.
The extradition of the former head of the Georgian military police under the United National Movement government Megis Kardava from Ukraine has been delayed as the latter has asked Ukraine for political asylum.
The Georgian Supreme Court has left the previous verdict the Tbilisi City Court in power and said that two former high-rank officials, under the United National Movement leadership, are guilty in the murder of three young men back in 2006.
A former police official has spoken out in a court of law saying he was forced by top figures of the previous government to find false eye witnesses in the wake of a brutal murder of three youth in 2006.
Germany will extradite ex-head of the penitentiary department under the United National Movement government, Davit Chakua to Georgia, the Georgian Chief Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed.
