According to the former minister of defense, Davit Kezerashvili, the TV company BBC won the court case regarding the stories prepared about him.
As Kezerashvili writes on the social network, as a result, the BBC took materials prepared about him from all platforms.
"The BBC, as a result of the legal action I brought, removed from all of its platforms so-called investigative stories, articles or other material, thus ending almost two years of so-called BBC defamation proceedings, which in fact proved that the allegations made were defamation of the worst kind. to my address.
The BBC also undertook not to return to spreading defamatory information about me on their platforms in the future.
The BBC will reimburse me for all legal costs associated with my claim.
All materials prepared for court, audited reports, and reports prepared by legal and consulting companies, show unequivocally and unequivocally that the allegation that I may have benefited from any type of illegal income is a complete lie. And the subsequent campaign launched against me by the Georgian government was aimed at deceiving the Georgian society and international friends.
This is also confirmed by the results of other court proceedings conducted outside Georgia.
All similar campaigns of "Georgian Dream" have been evaluated by the courts as either a gross violation of human rights (the decision of the so-called Strasbourg Court of 2024) or as political persecution (the decisions of the courts of France and Great Britain).
I want to thank the legal team, which worked hard to prove my truth," wrote Davit Kezerashvili.
For reference, the BBC released a film on the so-called call center fraud scheme in April 2023. In the documentary, Davit Kezerashvili was named as the founder of many call centers in Georgia. According to the BBC, the majority of call centers operating in Georgia were located in the so-called pixel building, and many of them were founded or registered by the former Minister of Defense of Georgia, Davit Kezerashvili. In the movie, he was referred to as "Mr. Offshore".
