Former general prosecutor Otar Romanov-Partskhaladze sentenced to imprisonment in absentia

Former Prosecutor General Otar Romanov-Partskhaladze has been sentenced to imprisonment as a preventive measure in absentia.

Prosecutor’s Office insisted on imprisonment, while the defence side demanded Partskhaladze’s leaving without any preventive measure.

According to Partskhaladze’s lawyer, Gigi Mosiashvili, there is no evidence against Partskhaladze in the case, and Partskhaladze himself does not admit his guilt.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) named former prosecutor general Otar Partskhaladze as organizer of businessman Levan Jangveladze’s murder. Former general prosecutor faces 16 to 20 years in prison or a life sentence.

Otar Partskhaladze left Georgia in June of 2025, reportedly for Russia.
