Court Declines Prosecutors’ Motions Against Ugulava

February 26, 2013
Court has declined prosecutors’ request asking for suspending from office Tbilisi mayor Gigi Ugulava, who is facing charged related to money laundering, as well as misspending and embezzling of large amount of public funds.

The court said reasons cited by prosecutors behind their motion seeking suspending Ugulava, who was elected as capital city’s mayor in 2010 local elections, from the office were “superficial and groundless.” The Tbilisi City Court made this decision without an oral hearing of the motion.

Also on February 25 the same court held a hearing into other motions in which prosecutors were seeking GEL 1 million bail for Ugulava and banning him from leaving the country.

These two requests by the prosecutors have also been rejected by the court.

A preliminary hearing on the merits of the criminal case against Ugulava has been set in the Tbilisi City Court for April 10.
