According to Turkish media, if Georgia refuses to accept Lavasogli (Mindia Goradze), Turkey will release him in February of 2020.
According to the local media, after the arrest of the so-called criminal boss, Ankara is trying to extradite him through diplomatic ties, but the Georgian side refuses to accept him.
The operation against 39-year-old Mindia Goradze, also known as Lavasogli, took place on October 25, 2018, in Trabzon Province. Turkish intelligence and representatives of the province's organized smuggling division took part in the operation.
