The Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) conducted searches at different locations in Georgia’s cities, including Tbilisi, within the framework of its investigation into cyber attacks on websites of government institutions.

The MIA searched the apartment of Ucha Abashidze, a blogger and active participant in the anti-Transparency Law rallies, at #22 Irakli Abashidze Street in Tbilisi.

Ucha Abashidze (born in 1984) was detained on the charge of illegal possession and keeping of weapons (Article 236 of the Criminal Code of Georgia).

Law enforcers confiscated the weapon and various electronic devices from his apartment and took him to the Criminal Police Department in the Ortachala district of Tbilisi.

The Ministry said the investigation is launched under Article 286 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, which envisages damage to computer data and the system keeping vitally significant information.

Investigative activities continue in Georgia’s other cities.
