Court orders pretrial detention for eight individuals detained for group violence charges
The court has sentenced eight individuals charged with organizing, leading, and participating in group violence to pretrial detention as a preventive measure.
The detainees are Zviad Tsetskhladze, Vasil Kadzelashvili, Vepkhia Kasradze, Irakli Miminoshvili, Insaf Aliyev, Tornike Goshadze, Nikoloz Javakhishvili, and Giorgi Giorgadze.
Lawyers for the defendants claim their clients deny the charges and are exercising their right to remain silent.
They also argue that certain video recordings presented as evidence have been edited and lack authenticity, making them unreliable.
Regarding the so-called Molotov cocktails and other illegal items seized from apartments and offices, the lawyers assert that these items do not belong to their clients.
