Giorgi Margvelashvili
Tazo Datunashvili: Georgia could find itself at the epicenter of a major international scandal - the Kulevi oil processing plant is not just an ordinary private investment - the "Georgian Dream" made a direct contribution to its construction
Levan Sanikidze: I have a question: when Kobakhidze was the head of “Dream’s” headquarters and was spending the black money brought by Liluashvili, what responsibility does he take for that?! - They act as if they have only been ruling the country for a year and a half
Levan Davitashvili: I often have to make visits due to work, I had a planned visit now as well, I will return at the end of the week
Vano Tsereteli: Ivanishvili’s regime wants to present it as if a new government has come to power under Irakli Kobakhidze’s leadership and that they have no connection to what happened before - In scientific literature, this is called a “mafia state”
Vakhtang Dzabiradze: The SSS explanation means that Levan Davitashvili will have to either make a plea deal or face imprisonment; he may be one of those against Grigol Liluashvili - “Dream” is trying to “whitewash” its unpleasant past
State Security Service - Davitashvili was at the Anti-Corruption Agency for questioning relating to a specific criminal case, he was not here at a meeting to discuss issues
Levan Davitashvili after his questioning at State Security Service - We discussed the issue of gas supplies - I think I provided detailed and comprehensive information, the questions were very logical
Gia Volski on Levan Davitashvili's questioning at the State Security Service - A former minister or employee of any structure may be summoned regarding any issue, this does not mean that there is suspicion or a prerequisite for accusation against him
State Security Service explains the reason for which Levan Davitashvili and Giorgi Chikovani are being questioned

Levan Davitashvili no longer holds the position of Secretary of the Government’s Economic Council and continues his activities in the private sector
Mariam Kvrivishvili appointed Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development
Levan Davitashvili resigns as Minister of Economy
Irakli Kobakhidze on Romeo Mikautadze’s Case: What does Kaladze have to do with it? No one doubts Levan Davitashvili’s integrity – the investigation pertains to the activities of a specific individual in the Ministry of Economy
Romeo Mikautadze’s lawyer: He does not plead guilty because he did not commit the act he is accused of – he is ready to justify his assets down to the last tetri
Irakli Kobakhidze leaves for Italy
According to Levan Davitashvili, the optimization of funds in state-owned enterprises was achieved, among other things, through staff reductions
Irakli Kobakhidze met with U.S. Senator Steve Daines
Estonian Ambassador: I will be leaving Tbilisi later this week - Does my departure reflect the current state of relations between Georgia and Estonia? Of course it does - I cannot hide that
