The temporary parliamentary investigative commission investigating the activities of the National Movement government will apply to the Prosecutor's Office regarding Mamuka Khazaradze, the leader of the Strong Georgia party.

According to the commission's chairwoman Tea Tsulukiani, the reason is that Khazaradze did not appear at the commission's session, where he was summoned.

According to her, refusing to appear before the commission is a criminal offense.

"We had Mamuka Khazaradze summoned to the session today. Apparently, he heard your [LLC Magnat owner Jemal Leonidze] speech and announced his refusal to come via Facebook. He called this commission a circus and said that he did not intend to participate in this circus. We will discuss his refusal. Since, according to Article 349 of the Criminal Code, refusal to appear before the commission is a criminal offense, we will most likely have to send the case to the Prosecutor's Office.

As for Badri Japaridze, he was also summoned today. He refused to accept our notice at the Lelo office yesterday, although we know through his lawyer and assistant that he is aware of the summoning. He has been summoned to the commission session again. We very much hope that, unlike Mamuka Khazaradze, he will appear today and answer the questions we have,” Tsulukiani said.

For information, the temporary parliamentary investigative commission investigating the activities of the National Movement government has summoned the leaders of Strong Georgia - Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze.

The commission's agenda includes the discussion of one of the cases of pressure on business - the case of Magnati LLC.
