Police Detain Temur Khachishvili

April 26, 2004

Police Detain Temur Khachishvili

Kvemo Kartli police have detained Temur Khachishvili, former Interior Minister and founder of the political union “Datvi” (the Bear). Prosecutors have launched an investigation into charges of illegally transporting and keeping weapons.

Khachishvili says that law enforcements entered his house illegally and planted the weapons. According to Khachishvili, authorities framed him for political reasons, because of a confrontation between himself and Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania.

Police first detained Khachishvili’s brother, David, in Tbilisi. Police then said they would release David only after Temur turned himself in to a local police department.
