The Prosecutor`s Office of Georgia [PoG] has charged Nia Imnadze with instigating group intentional grievous bodily harm and Anastasia Beruashvili with failing to report an exceptionally serious offence in connection with the Giga Avaliani criminal case.

"An investigation conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the supervision of the PoG established that in September 2025, N. Imnadze began mathematics tutoring under G. Avaliani. The accused, N. Imnadze, told her friends Aleksandre Gabashvili and Giorgi Malania that G. Avaliani, was allegedly showing excessive attention towards her. Through these actions, the accused incited Aleksandre Gabashvili to attack G. Avaliani alongside accomplices.

A. Gabashvili, together with Giorgi Rikadze, G. Malania, and Demetre Chikovani, resolved to carry out this incitement. To this end, they established G. Avaliani`s identity and inspected his social media profile, downloading a photo to identify and memorise his visual appearance. They ascertained his work and residential addresses, studied his work schedule, and traced the route he took from work to home. Having selected the location to execute their intent, they commenced surveillance.

On the evening of September 29, 2025, A. Gabashvili, G. Rikadze and D. Chikovani went to a training centre in Tbilisi`s Sea District seeking revenge. Although they set an ambush and prepared everything to carry out the attack, they failed to pull it off that day due to circumstances beyond their control.

On October 1, 2025, in accordance with the plan devised by A. Gabashvili, G. Rikadze, and D. Chikovani, Gabashvili and Rikadze launched a group attack on G. Avaliani, who sustained severe injuries and subsequently died in a medical facility on October 24, 2025. Immediately after committing the crime, G. Rikadze contacted his friend A. Beruashvili, informing her of the group assault on G. Avaliani and the injuries inflicted upon him as a result of the offence. Despite knowing about the exceptionally serious crime committed against G. Avaliani, A. Beruashvili failed to report it to the police.

On August 5, following a motion by the prosecution, law enforcement officers arrested N. Imnadze and A. Beruashvili pursuant to a judicial warrant. N. Imnadze was charged under Article 25 and Article 117, Part 3, Sub-clause (l) of the Criminal Code of Georgia (incitement to commit intentional grievous bodily harm as part of a group), which carries a penalty of up to 13 years` imprisonment. A. Beruashvili was charged under Article 376, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of Georgia (failure to report an exceptionally serious crime), which carries a penalty of up to 7 years` imprisonment. The PoG will apply to the court within the statutory deadline requesting custodial remand for the defendants.

The court has already found A. Gabashvili, G. Rikadze, and D. Chikovani guilty in the aforementioned criminal case. G. Malania stands charged with aiding and abetting group intentional grievous bodily harm, and his case is currently undergoing trial on merits. Additionally, Ani Naskidashvili has been convicted for failing to report an exceptionally serious crime", - reads the statement of
