The organization “Young Barristers” responds to the statement by the Constitutional Court of Georgia of March 17, 2015 and appeals to Giorgi Papuashvili for respect of the right of the public to get objective and impartial information regarding the progress of the certain legal activities implemented towards him. After the organization’s appeal to the society by means of the special press conference in March 16, 2015, where the organization had informed the society of the fact of investigation initiated towards the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Georgia, Giorgi Papuashvili, by the Prosecutor’s Office Adjara Division of Investigative Service, under the article 180 (paragraph 1) of the Criminal Justice Code of Georgia for the crime of forgery, the Press Secretary of the Court , Maniko Beridze, during the process of making assessments to the “ Adjara tv”, has stated , that “ in the documents, submitted to them by the Prosecutor’s Office , there is no information, regarding the launch of criminal proceedings against Giorgi Papuashvili for the crime of forgery , and organization’s press conference is nothing more, but deliberate misinterpretation of the facts. We consider, that the documentation, passed by interested party, could be simply rechecked by the television, in order to avoid delivery of the false, unchecked information to the audience. The Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Georgia has not received any kind of document or report from the Office of Prosecutor or any other institution informing of the launch of investigation against him. We are sorry that the fact has been deliberately distorted in order to mislead the society” .
The “Young Barristers” appeals to the society with full responsibility, represents the documentations confirming the ongoing investigation in Adjara Division of Investigative Service against the Chairmen of the Constitutional Court of Georgia , Giorgi Papuashvili, and provides certain explanation in record of certain circumstances _ ongoing investigation in the Adjara Division of Investigative Service on the crime of forgery against Giorgi Papuashvili is confirmed by the letter of the Main Prosecutor’s Office of February 11, 2015 # 13/8093. The ground for the launch of the investigation has been the complaint of June 25, 2013. The case is regarding the issue of appropriation of the garage, another real estate, legally owned by Rolan Bladaze on behalf of Giorgi Papuashvili, after he had moved to the house of property confiscated Roland Bladadze, the fact proved in the factual evidences existing in the case. The Press Speaker of the Constitutional Court of Georgia, Maniko Beridze, is the one , who carries out substantial distortion of the facts and indicates incompetant attitude towards the legal proceedings. When the Press Speaker of the Court announces that : “ in the documents, submitted to them by the Prosecutor’s Office, it is not provided, that the initiation of criminal proceedings against Giorgi Papuashvili for the crime of forgery has been started”, we will on our turn try to define the following : _ the initiation of the criminal case by investigative body is started when the resolution of accusation towards the person is adopted. For the moment, investigation regarding the fact of the appropriation of the garage is in progress in Adjara Division of Investigative Service, after which the issue of the legal liability of the persons should raise in accordance with the criminal procedure rules. Due to the fact, that the appropriation of the garage by Giorgi Papuashvili is proved by the factual documents existing in the case, the protocol of the landlord community was signed under the influence and in the archive of the National Agency of Civil Registry, documents confirming Roland Bladadze’s right to the property has been disappeared and the official document gained from Batumi City Hall Supervision Service, proves that, Giorgi Papuashvili had demanded and received 3565 GEL in return for the dismantled storage_the garage , makes us think that the investigation will come to the conclusion to finally accuse Giorgi Papuashvili for implemented criminal activities.
The “Young Barristers” appeals to the Service of Public Relations of the Constitutional Court of Georgia to fully get acquainted with legal questions that exist in the society towards Giorgi Papuashvili, together with the documentations regarding Roland Bladadze’s case and instead of keeping the image of the Chairman, deliver to the society only the truth , moreover, while Constitutional Court is directly obliged to protect legality and correspond to the high interests of the society.
