Irakli Gharibashvili’s lawyer demands the start of an investigation into the fact of torture

Former Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili's lawyer, Soso Baratashvili, stated after the court process that Gharibashvili provided information to the court regarding the mental and moral torture carried out against him. According to the lawyer, this pressure occurred before the investigation into the case began, in order for Gharibashvili to admit to the bribery charges. Baratashvili states that Irakli Gharibashvili can substantiate these facts and will name the person who offered him the plea deal during the investigation process. Formula+5
