Where will he go? We will arrest him sooner or later: Gomelauri on wanted offender

Candidate for the Minister of Internal Affairs Vakhtang Gomelauri said they are exerting vigorous efforts to detain wanted Badri Esebua.

According to Gomlauri, the police will arrest him sooner or later, as his brother, who provided him with food, is already in custody. "The opposition should not be surprised if two or three months do not prove enough to detain an offender. This is nothing unusual. Where will he go? We will arrest him sooner or later. We are making all possible efforts to do so," Gomelauri declared.

Law enforcement officers apprehended wanted Badri Esebua's brother on Dec 12. Police officers seized ammunition, a sleep sack, clothes, and food products from his car. Reports have it that the defendant contacted his brother, who has recently robbed the bank in Georgia.

A gunman broke into the Bank of Georgia in Zugdidi and took 43 hostages on Oct 21. He demanded half a million dollars, a helicopter, and threatened to kill the hostages unless his demands were met.

Late at night, the captor left the bank building late at night, together with three victims and $500,000. He freed all hostages at dawn and vanished without a trace.

The MIA has released the information saying that all hostages have been freed and are now safe.

Later the MIA said that the Zugdidi Bank assailant had been identified. His name proved to be Badri Esebua (DOB 1988).

Badri Esebua has been wanted so far.

The case of the Zugdidi bank robbery was eventually re-qualified,and now the investigation is in progress under Articles 236, 323, and 329 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, envisaging a terrorist, hostage-taking act, illegal purchase, storage, and possession of firearms.
