Today, 15:21

Bacho Akhalaia was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison. The verdict in the case, which concerns the statement he made in court regarding the overthrow of the government, was announced a few minutes ago.

The defendant did not attend the trial, nor did he exercise his right to make a closing statement.

Akhalaia was found guilty of the crime stipulated under Article 317 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, which implies public calls for the violent change of the constitutional order of Georgia or the overthrow of state power.
