It should be emphasized that in the present and other cases, an assessment can be made whether the records contain information about alleged criminal acts only after an effective investigation, establishment of the authenticity and validity of the records, - Public Defender Nino Lomjaria responded to the announcement of the program aired by TV Pirveli.

As Lomjaria writes on her Facebook page, for many years now, the public has been demanding a timely and objective investigation from law enforcement agencies into illegal secret recordings.

"For years, it has become a common practice in Georgia to illegally obtain secret records or fabricate them in order to discredit, damage the business reputation or moral of undesirable people or political opponents. For many years, the public has been unsuccessfully demanding timely and objective investigations by law enforcement agencies and holding those responsible accountable. Unfortunately, no such case has been effectively investigated, making each member of the community even more vulnerable to similar illegal and unacceptable practices in the future.

It should be emphasized that in the present and other cases, an assessment can be made whether the records contain information about alleged criminal acts only after an effective investigation, establishment of the authenticity and validity of the records", - Lomjaria said.

For information, according to TV Pirveli, they obtained a secret audio recording, according to which, Bera Ivanishvili, together with Irakli Gharibashvili, ordered the punishment of several people, including a child, because of unwanted comments.
