Lasha Shergelashvili is spreading a number of unverified information - the State Security Service confirmed that the information he spread was a complete fabrication and lie, - Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Aleksandre Darakhvelidze stated the above when responding to the statements of former employee of Special Tasks Department, Lasha Shergelashvili.

According to him, when there is mass unrest, violence, or attacks on state institutions, the police use special means specified in the "Law on Police".

"The investigation has serious questions regarding a specific case against Lasha Shergelashvili. This was also discussed during the State Security Service briefing. As for specific cases - when there is mass unrest, violence, attacks on state institutions or the police, the police use special means specified in the "Law on Police". A statement was made on a specific substance by the State Security Service. All the issues that were asked have been answered," Darakhvelidze said.

For information, according to the First Deputy Head of the State Security Service, Lasha Maghradze, the information voiced in the BBC film about the use of the substance "camite" against protesters in Georgia is complete and deliberate disinformation. As Maghradze notes, within the framework of the ongoing investigation, the agency was unable to question only one of the persons of interest to them, a former employee of the State Security Service, Lasha Shergelashvili, who he is wanted in another criminal case.

“Of the persons of interest to the investigation, it was not possible to interview the only witness, Lasha Shergelashvili, on whose information the opinions of the author of the story prepared by the BBC were largely based. It is noteworthy that the State Security Service is conducting operational-search and investigative actions against the aforementioned person in connection with one of the high-profile criminal cases in the recent past, which concerned the fact of the purchase and storage of firearms and ammunition, including the explosive substance TNT, by the accused Beka Chulukhadze”, he said.
