One person arrested in the case of Giorgi Shakarashvili got released from pre-trial detention on bail.

According to lawyer Anna Zhgenti, Veronica Aronia, arrested on charges of perjury, pleads guilty.

The Prosecutor's office demanded bail of GEL 5 000 for the detainee. According to the lawyer, given the social status of Veronica Aronia, the judge released her on bail of GEL 2 500.
