These robbers knew that they had to hand over the TV company to the rightful owner and started robbing the TV company and stole 7 million. This has been established by the court, Georgian Dream chairman Irakli Kobakhidze stated in connection with the case of Nika Gvaramia.

According to him, everything is clear and there should be no room for political speculations, although the opposition still manages to speculate.

"We cannot interfere with the court's decision. The only assessment I will make as a lawyer regarding the content of this case is this - Gvaramia knew that he had to hand over his TV company to the rightful owner very soon, he knew that the Strasbourg Court would make this decision. He knew this in advance because they had stolen Rustavi 2. These robbers knew that they had to hand over the TV company to the rightful owner and started robbing the TV company and stole 7 million, the court established this. If anyone has questions, please apply to the appropriate instances, but the fact is - the TV company was robbed, 7 million was stolen, which had to be returned to its rightful owner based on the expected decision of the Strasbourg Court. Everything is obvious. There should not be any space left for political speculations, although the opposition manages to speculate again," said Kobakhidze.

Regarding the issue of pardoning Nika Gvaramia by the President, according to Irakli Kobakhidze, if the President pardons Nika Gvaramia, it will turn out that Salome Zurabishvili does not respect the institution of the president at all.

"I can't interfere in this case either. I will just remind you what words Nika Gvaramia used to refer to the President of Georgia. He used three words, I will remind you of the first one - it was “resident”, I will not recall the second and third ones due to ethical norms. When after that we theoretically talk about the fact that Salome Zurabishvili may pardon Nika Gvaramia, it will turn out that Salome Zurabishvili does not respect the institution of the President at all. I think that this will not happen, there will be minimal respect for the institution of the President, and in such a case, of course, the use of pardon power is ruled out," said Kobakhidze.
