Actor Andro Chichinadze, Onise Tskhadadze, and nine others, detained on charges of participating in group violence, will not be questioned in court.

The lawyers provided this information to the judge. Additionally, the defendants will exercise their right to a final statement.

Earlier, the prosecution requested that the defense's evidence be recognized as indisputable. Lawyer Elguja Avsajanishvili stated on this matter that he would not call three witnesses himself and would coordinate with the defendant regarding the position on the remaining two witnesses. The judge granted this motion.

The judge also instructed the prosecutors to be prepared to deliver their closing statements at the next hearing.

Following Elguja Avsajanishvili’s coordination with the defendant, the trial will proceed to its final stage.

Additionally, the judge did not allow the expelled defendant, Revaz Kiknadze, to return to the courtroom but granted him the right to make a final statement.
