Doctor Gogi Chakhunashvili has also been summoned to the investigative agency in relation to the investigative material prepared by the BBC. His son, Konstantine Chakhunashvili, wrote about this on Facebook.

“My father has also been summoned; he will appear before the agency today,” wrote Konstantine Chakhunashvili.

Regarding the BBC’s investigation, Konstantine Chakhunashvili himself has already answered investigators’ questions in the presence of a magistrate judge. At this moment, his brother, David Chakhunashvili, is also answering investigators’ questions before a magistrate judge.

For reference, the BBC prepared and published an investigative report claiming that a substance called “Kamite”—last used during World War I—was deployed to disperse the protest rallies in November–December 2024. The BBC’s report discussed the effects of the substance and included findings from doctors’ research.

Following the publication of the BBC’s journalistic investigation, the State Security Service launched an inquiry under two articles: abuse of official powers and assisting a foreign organization in hostile activities.
