We are not going to joke! - All those who represented the previous government will appear before the commission and then will not say that they did not know that there was a fairly severe punishment for failure to appear! - This statement was made by the chairwoman of the commission, Tea Tsulukiani, at the beginning of the session of the temporary investigative commission of the parliament.

She once again noted that failure to appear at the session of the parliamentary investigative commission entails criminal liability.

“I want all those who we will contact to take this into account so that they do not create any problems for themselves,” - noted Tea Tsulukiani.

A session of the temporary investigative commission investigating the activities of the National Movement government is underway in parliament.

At today's session of the commission, the case of the seizure of businessman Besarion Khardziani's business and his torture in prison in 2011 will be considered. The commission is listening to the businessman's son, Besarion Khardziani.

Businessman Besik Khardziani was arrested in February 2011 on drug charges. He was released from prison in December 2012. Khardziani claimed that during this period he was pressured to give up his shares in Turtle Lake.
