Former aide to de facto leader of Georgia being held as ‘personal prisoner’, mother claims | Georgia

The mother of a former assistant who was imprisoned in Bidzina Ivanishvili accused the de facto leader of Georgia of treating the West of treating his son as a “personal prisoner ..

Marina Ramazashvili, a famous ophthalmologist in Georgia, said Giorgi Bachiashvili, allegedly beaten in the prison cell, was a victim of a “wing” victim of a billionaire politician.

The Georgian government, led by Ivanishvili, is accused of creamy autocracy, which is gradually under political control.

“Maybe it’s bad,” said 65 -year -old Ramazashvili from Ivanishvili. “No humanity, no empathy. My only hope is European institutions. Giorgi is now the personal prisoner of Ivanishvili. I want someone to help, please.”

After fell with Ivanishvili, the honorary president of the country’s ruling party, Bachiashvili fled from Georgia, where he worked as “right -hand man için for ten years.

When he jumped the country for Abu Dhabi, Bachiashvili was tried for alleged that he had stolen $ 42 million (£ 31 million) in a crypto currency.

In an interview with Guardian, Bachiashvili, who strongly rejected the allegations, claimed that the prosecution was punished for an open oral criticism of Russia’s occupation of Ukraine.

He also claimed that Ivanishvili, who guided a shift from the west and Russia to Russia, may have concluded that he was a Western spy.

Transparency International described the case against Bachiashvili as “lack of legal and factual reasons”.

Shortly after the interview, Bachiashvili was seized outside a hotel where he met with his lawyer by men who said they were from Interpol.

He was taken to a police station in Abu Dhabi and then to Dubai. Within 48 hours, his 39 -year -old, lawyers, was deported from the hearing through a Georgian Airways flight.

Bachiashvili claimed that one of the other five passengers on the Georgian capital Tbilisi was the head of Georgia’s security services.

His lawyers were mocked because of his belief that he could escape Lvanishvili during the flight.

The Georgian government later issued a press release, which he claimed to have found and arrested Bachiashvili, near the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Ramazashvili said he had not been allowed to talk to his son since June, but he learned that his lawyers had been beaten badly in his cell on July 11, two days before his birthday.

A man who did not appear to be a prisoner repeatedly hit Bachiashvili’s head on the wall and bit him on his shoulder. During the discussion, he lost his consciousness briefly, allegedly.

“They’re trying to break him every day, Ramazan said Ramazashvili. “He even has new rules. Parliament has adopted a law that if someone was found guilty of financial abuse, he could prohibit the authorities from abandoning the country for 16 years.”

Bachiashvili is sentenced to 11 years in prison after being convicted of stealing the crypto currency, but he is trying to add more years to prosecution escape.

Prosecutors are also looking for another imprisonment for the claim that Bachiashvili neglected a state investment in a hydro-power station. Ivanishvili filed a separate lawsuit against him.

Ramazashvili, Ivanishvilli and his family, his son was introduced for the first time and then began to work for the businessman who has companies in Russia, he said.

He said: “As a human being, it was very normal, it was very kind. For that, I cannot say anything bad about him or his family. Therefore, I thought Giorgi would be very safe… This is my biggest mistake in my life.”

Georgia continues to be the desire to join the EU and has recently provided a response to a series of reforms from Brussels after the claim that the country has entered autocracy.

Ramazashvili, who is currently living in the US state of Alabama, said that he has left Beraft and that his only hope will intervene in the European Court of Human Rights or the UN.

“There’s nothing inside,” he said.
