Rioni Gorge Guard sent to jail

The Kutaisi City Court has left Irakli Mukbaniani detained in the Sakulia village in custody. 

The judge approved the prosecutor's motion. Mukbaniani's lawyer, however, claimed that the ground for rendering the verdict did not exist.

Law enforcement officers detained Irakli Mukbaniani in the Sakulia village, Tskaltubo municipality, Georgia, and charged him for assaulting a police officer.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia released a statement after the 'Rioni Gorge Guard' was detained.

Locals claimed that police opened fire when detaining the 'Rioni Gorge Guard.'
