I would repeat again the words that Bidzina Ivanishvili's lawyers used to assess this dispute and the entire process, when they assessed it as thuggish, racketeering and robbery. This was confirmed today by the London Supreme Court, - the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, stated in connection with the decision of the London Supreme Court in the case of Bidzina Ivanishvili and the Swiss bank, Credit Suisse.
As Shalva Papuashvili noted, everyone saw clearly how the most reputable bank, Credit Suisse, was being used to commit a thuggish racket against Bidzina Ivanishvili.
“The second thing the court confirmed today is that the rules that exist, including in the banking and financial system on the European continent, are very easily violated when informal governance interferes in such processes. This dispute has been going on for several years and we have seen how brazenly, crudely, what kind of thuggish racket was carried out using the most reputable bank, Credit Suisse, and the bank did it so brazenly, openly, in the middle of Switzerland with impunity.
The whole of Europe watched this in broad daylight, the whole banking system, including Europe, watched it, and they had zero reaction to it. Do you remember, during the course of this dispute, Bidzina Ivanishvili's articles were blocked, statements were not published in the media, which showed that on the European continent, informal governance not only manages the banking system, but also directly manages the media, and they blocked statements and other materials in the media regarding this dispute.
Thirdly, part of this dispute was precisely to think of other restrictions regarding Bidzina Ivanishvili, knowing that this was absolutely impudent behavior by the bank, which would sooner or later end with a court decision, and for the time being they developed other mechanisms. In this regard, there was even a statement by Bidzina Ivanishvili that he did not hope that anyone would recognize the rule of law to such an extent that even after this failure they would at least give him the opportunity to have access to his own accounts. So, the restrictions and sanctions that were invented by the Biden administration at the time under absolutely ridiculous pretexts may now be used as an excuse to deny him access to the accounts. We are talking about restrictions imposed by the Biden administration, which the current administration refers to as the autopen president, who himself did not know what he was signing. So, of course, now is exactly the moment when everyone should once again understand what attitude they should have towards the decisions that the Biden administration was making to harm other countries and nations," said Shalva Papuashvili.
