"Gvaramia knew very well that he committed a crime and robbed a TV station"

According to Georgian Dream leader Irakli Kobakhidze, the campaign against the court is in fact entirely politically motivated. According to him, the statements against the court have never been supported by arguments.

According to the Georgian Dream leader, the campaign against the judiciary was linked to the Rustavi 2 case and no one mentioned the "clan" until 2017.

"We basically came to the main problem. When you're a criminal, and when you're facing a particular trial, you know you've committed a crime, it's naturally easy to try to discredit the court. They have no other way to avoid being accused by the public. It's the same in the case of the National Movement. They know they are criminals. Gvaramia knew very well that he had committed a crime, he was robbing the television station, which was to be handed over in a few months based on a Strasbourg decision. Because of this, his television actively opposed the trial. Today he says that the court sentenced him to an unfair conviction. The same goes for Saakashvili, Ugulava, etc. They are criminals, and which was confirmed by the court," Kobakhidze said.
