The Georgian Prosecutor's Office accused the opposition television channel TV Pirveli of spreading "further disinformation" after airing a report about Tamar Bezhuashvili, the prosecutor in the case of the attempted storming of the presidential palace. The office stated that this is the second time in the past six weeks that the channel has produced material related to the business activities of the prosecutor's father and is "completely unfoundedly" attempting to link it to her professional work.
This year, instead of serving time in a colony, former RUBOP operative Sergei Khadzhikurbanov, sentenced to 20 years for organizing the murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya, served in the Storm-Z unit in Ukraine (a unit for prisoners).
“In order to be clean, you need to roll around in the dirt a little. For victory!” Khadzhikurbanov said in the video in the “SVO” zone.
It recently became known that police officer Sergei Khadzhikurbanov, sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2014, was released from the colony at the end of 2022 and went to the Northern Military District zone. At the moment he is amnestied. He is one of the organizers of the murder of human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya in 2006.
Commenting on the situation, Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Peskov said that the resonance of the criminal case does not affect the decision to pardon convicts.
