Georgia’s Special Investigative Service has arrested two security police officers for domestic violence and assault in Georgia’s western region of Kutaisi and Kakheti in the east.

The Service said on Friday the officer arrested in Kutaisi had been charged with domestic violence and threats made in the presence of a minor.

An assault and stabbing of an individual in a Lagodekhi municipality village in Kakheti last week led to the arrest of the other security police employee, it added.

The crimes are punishable by between one to seven years in prison.
