Main Prosecutor`s Office has arrested a well-known businessman, the owner of the Elizi Group Company, Tamaz Elizbarasvili, his daughter-in-law and her father in suspicion of document forgery and bribery. Four doctors of the psychiatric clinic have been also arrested for involvement in the same case.
Reportedly, the case refers to the son of the businessman, Guram Elizbarashvili, who serves his sentence in jail for murder. The informal reports say Guram Elizbarashvili had a conflict with the prison administration for which the court added several years to his sentence. The family objected to the decision however, failed to assist the convict legally. They contacted the doctors of the psychiatric clinic and offered a deal. The doctors should write a conclusion that the prisoner had mental problems, they would be paid serious sum of money instead.
All four experts of the psychiatric clinic have been arrested along with the businessman and his family members.
Guram Elizbarashvili was charged with premeditated murder, which occurred on May 19 2001. His friend, Nana Bakradze had a conflict with a young man, Mikheil Tsilikashvili at the birthday party of the boy. Bakradze asked Elizbarashvili for help in this dispute. Elizbarashvili went to the party together with three friends and shot Tsilikashvili and his uncle. Tsilikashvili died before hospitalization. Elizbarashvili escaped from the place of the murder, however, he was arrested afterwards and he is now serving his sentence.
