Zurab Bakradze, former head of Criminal Police Department today broke the silence into case of Amiran (Buta) Robakidze, 19-year-old youth who was killed by law-enforcement officers during the special operation in Didube district of Tbilisi in 2004.

Bakradze talked to the media about unknown details of the well-known criminal case for the first time. He said that discovery of weapons in Robakidze’s car was plotted in advance and recalled that back on November 24, 2004 he had personally put a hand-grenade into the car of Robakidze’s friend.

“When I came to the scene of the incident, I asked what had happened, to which the then Chief of Patrol Police Main Department, Zurab Mikadze, replied that one of the police officers accidentally fired a gun and wounded a person. I told him that the police officer was to be arrested, but I received a very strange answer,” Bakradze said.

Former high-ranking official, who left Georgia in 2012, pleads guilty into the case and claims that he became an object of blackmailing. Bakradze is the only witness into case who has admitted falsification of evidences at the crime scene. “For the first time, I declare that I committed a crime and I was involved in the falsification of the incident site,” Bakradze stated.

“Moambe” News Program of First Channel recorded the interview through facebook. It is not yet known when one of the main witnesses into Buta Robakidze’s case will be questioned in the court in distance.
