State Audit Office starts examining reports, according to which Davit Kezerashvili gave a car to Nika Melia as a gift
The State Audit Office has started examining the reports, according to which former Minister of Defense Davit Kezerashvili gave a car to the Chairman of the National Movement Nika Melia.
As InterPressNews was told by the agency, in case of detection of the fact of violation of the law, there will be the relevant response.
"The Political Finance Monitoring Department of the State Audit Service has started examining the issue. In case of detection of the fact of violation of the law, there will be the relevant legal response", the agency said.
Reports that Davit Kezerashvili gave a car as a gift to National Movement Chairman Nika Melia were spread a few days ago. Nika Melia responded to the issue on January 23 and wrote on the social network, calling the reports a lie.
“After getting out of prison, my friends thought I needed protection and therefore an additional car. I gave my family car to the security, while I myself was using the party's car (Mazerati), which Mr. Zaza Okuashvili gave to the party temporarily at the request of Koba Nakopia. I remember that this car also caused noise, but it wasn't mine.
We had no need for an additional car, when one day Petre Ciskarishvili and Zurab Melikishvili told me that there was a used car in the party's garage, which had been sent by Davit Kezerashvili. Of course, I didn't ask him, it was his personal decision and later mentioned it during the phone conversation.
After I saw Davit Kezerashvili's attempt to interfere in internal party processes, we tried several times (from June 2022) to return this car to him.
Finally, a month and a half ago, I asked Bacho Dolidze to give the care to Kezerashvili's family member, Dima Chikovani, who did not accept this car and it is still in the party's garage.
That's how this story was, not the way Merabishvili/Kezerashvili's supporting colleagues are spreading it”, Melia wrote.
