Both served under the Georgian Dream leadership.
The incident between Partskhaladze and Tordia took place on May 12, 2017 in the El Centro club in central Tbilisi.
Tordia, who served as the chairperson of the Georgian State Audit Office between 2012 and 2017, said that the reason for the attack by Partskhaladze and his companion, former employee of the Ministry of Finance Mikheil Chokheli, were the findings the State Audit Office intended to release against Partskhaladze.
The court found Chokheli guilty for beating Tordia and fined him 5,000 GEL.
Former Georgian Chief Prosecutor Otar Partskhaladze, who served in the role in 2013, has been charged with beating the former head of the State Audit Office Lasha Tordia in May of 2017.
