Gogoreliani, Abdaladze and Kitiashvili Released under 500 GEL Bail

The court released Lasha Gogoreliani, representative of Bera Ivanishvili’s musical studio, Tengiz Abdaladze and Revaz Kitiashvili under bail of 500 GEL. The judge decided to pass verdict on the young people several hours after the detention.

Gogoreliani’s lawyer Lado Macharashvili told the news agency Pirveli about it and added that he does not know information about one more detainee Vakhtang Melikidze, who had marihuana on him at the moment of detention, as the MIA reports. Marashvili said the court did not discuss Melikidze’s case on April 19.

“The court assistant personally told me that he handed protocol on 500 GEL bail to Gogoreliani and that he is already free; but I have not seen Lasha yet. Now I am going to the Old Tbilisi MIA department to find out details,” Macharashvili said.

In the evening of April 19 patrol police officers arrested Lasha Gogoreliani together with three persons. The head of the MIA Administration Shota Khizanishvili operatively reported to the media that marihuana was discovered on Vakhtang Melikidze and police took all of them for the drug-test.

Lasha Gogoreliani is brother of Levan Gogoreliani (Pacho), former actor of the Rustavi 2’s entertainment programs. Short time ago, the brothers Gogorelianis left Rustavi 2 and joined Bera Ivanishvili’s Georgian Dreams Studio.

It is noteworthy that Levan Gogoreliani did not know whereabouts of his brother during several hours. “My brother was in car near our house when strangers in plain cloth approached him and kidnapped. My brother has never had contact with police; he is honest person. I have no idea why they should have detained Lasha. I was told six cars drove into the yard and took him away,” Lasha Gogoreliani told Interpresnews.
