The Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia has charged Aleksandre Elisashvili in a second episode of a terrorist act allegedly committed on May 4, 2025.

According to the agency, the investigation conducted by the Tbilisi Prosecutor’s Office established that, in accordance with a premeditated plan, Elisashvili - armed with items necessary to carry out a terrorist act and with his face covered - arrived at approximately 03:44 a.m. at the rear side of the Tbilisi City Court building, located at 64 Aghmashenebeli Alley, where the court archive is situated.

Initially, the accused climbed onto a ventilation pipe and attempted to open a window but failed. He then descended the stairs and, using a small window, threw a flammable substance containing petroleum products into the archive room, causing a fire. He later returned to another window adjacent to a second archive room and, after climbing the ventilation pipe again, set fire to the window and wiring.

As a result of Elisashvili’s actions, a fire broke out on the exterior façade of the court building and in the archive, where hundreds of criminal, civil, and administrative case files were stored. The fire was extinguished by emergency services.

The Prosecutor’s Office states that through these actions, Elisashvili aimed to destabilize one of the branches of government - the judiciary - and the administration of justice, as well as to destroy infrastructure, case materials, and other important documents, thereby causing significant property damage. His actions also endangered the lives and health of three court security officers present in the building at the time.

Elisashvili has been charged under Article 323, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, which provides for a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.

The Prosecutor’s Office will apply to the court within the legally established timeframe to schedule a pre-trial hearing.

It should be noted that Elisashvili has already been charged in connection with an attempted terrorist act at the Tbilisi City Court on November 29, 2025, under Article 19-323, Part 1 of the Criminal Code, and he is currently in a penitentiary institution.
