I started and Gharibashvili finished with regard to Mdinaradze - from the first day I said that I was Mdinaradze's personal prisoner, - the detained journalist Eliso Kiladze stated at the court hearing.

She also spoke about the physical injuries, which, according to her, "did not result in any reaction from the investigator."

“I was not summoned for questioning, I was directly arrested by the special forces. No high-ranking official has been arrested like this. It is clear that from the first day I said that Mdinaradze ordered it and I was his personal prisoner. I asked the investigator why they didn’t interrogate me, and he replied that I would be prepared for it and that was why.

I was terribly beaten. My right side was completely bruised and damaged, and this is the first time I am saying this publicly. This is recorded, and also, it is shown in the footage that I fell down. This was due to pain, because everything on my right side was bruised. An investigator from the Tbilisi Prosecutor’s Office came to the prison, walked around, questioned me, and I showed him my injuries, but, of course, there was no reaction. I hope everyone understands that I started and Gharibashvili finished with regard to Mdinaradze," Kiladze said, whose statement was broadcast by TV Pirveli.
