Pre-trial hearing in Irakli Gharibashvili’s case to be held on October 19

A pre-trial hearing in ex-prime minister Irakli Gharibashvili’s case will be held at 11 a.m. on October 19, Tbilisi City Court Judge Pikria Sikturashvili decided.

Given that Irakli Gharibashvili is already in custody in connection with another case, only the date for the pre-trial hearing was set at today’s proceeding.

The Prosecutor’s Office brought new charges against Irakli Gharibashvili for taking a bribe of an especially large amount on August 24.
