It was their civic duty to appear before the investigative body and provide the investigation with whatever information they had. These witnesses were questioned before the judge and they stated the information they had about Levan Jangveladze before the judge.

Naturally, their existence was unknown to us. The deceased Levan Jangveladze had many friends. They contacted the investigative body. This is a civic duty when they believe that they can help the investigation in some way. Of course, we interviewed them. They were also interviewed by a magistrate judge.

These witnesses confirm that Levan Jangveladze told them important information, that Partskhaladze had a conflict with him, among them, the Mikadzes were named, who had a conflict regarding business activities.
