Kakha Kaladze - The attempt to discredit the police continues - this is also from the Ackerman book, but they do not realize that the methods of the Ackerman book have become outdated and everyone knows everything
Eliso Kiladze - I became a victim of Mamuka Mdinaradze's personal vendetta - If I had agreed to "blacken" Kakha Kaladze, Grigol Liluashvili, Vakhtang Gomelauri and Ucha Mamatsashvili in exchange for a certain payment, I would not have had any problems
