Abashidze will be jailed

08/12/2005

Yesterday the Civil Court of Batumi got acquainted with the offer of the prosecutor’s office to put Abashidze in jail and gave a sanction for that purpose. According to “Itar Tass”, the prosecutor’s office is going to institute legal proceedings against Abashidze for abusing his position and grabbing state and private property.

“The president of Georgia has promised Aslan Abashidze to provide personal immunity for him. This means that either the public prosecutor’s office has ignored the president or the president has changed his mind. In both cases this is not good on their part”, -said the lawyer of Abashidze (Shalva Shavgoulidze).
