The Georgian Prosecutor General’s Office on Thursday said it had filed charges against an individual for an assault on his wife in Tbilisi last week.
The body said the suspect was arrested this week, with the Office having already asked the court for preventive detention.
The arrest comes after the alleged victim last week posted a photo of herself with what appeared to be facial injuries on social media, claiming she had been subjected to violence by her husband for years.
In its comments, the Office said its investigation had revealed the injuries had been caused by an assault following a verbal altercation between the two.
The suspect does not admit to the crime and claims to unveil details.
