“We were formally summoned by the State Security Service in the case of seized weapons and ammunition over which we have no information,” said Shota Tutberidze, lawyer of Paata Burchuladze, leader of the Rustaveli Avenue movement.

According to Turberidze, the weapons issue is fabricated.

“This issue is fabricated by the SSSG, in the same way as the case of tires, which were discovered at the garbage dump, saying the opposition parties kept for their plot. This case remains placed on a shelf, confirming that this case was fabricated.

We agreed to testify and will cooperate with the investigation. We responded to all questions, although there was an attempt to ask questions, which were not linked to the case,” he said.

The lawyer added that the SSSG wanted to obtain information about the October 4 developments.

“They tried to extort information – what he was organizing, who he was organizing with, they got the appropriate answer for everything. They are looking for grounds for black PR, to tarnish his reputation,” he said.
