The main question was about something that had been dug up in the forest, related to those videos – they were also interested in whether I knew Paata Burchuladze and Murtaz Zodelava,” – said Ani Nadareishvili, the wife of former Defense Minister Bacho Akhalaia, after being questioned at the State Security Service (SSG).
According to Ani Nadareishvili, she does not believe in the “staged spectacles” organized by the SSG, as she has seen many witnesses over the past 13 years who were “made to say what the authorities wanted.”
“The main question was about something that had been dug up in the forest, about those videos. As you may recall, the initials ‘B.Ch.’ were mentioned — it turned out to be someone named Beka Chulukhidze, and they were asking whether I knew him, had any connection or contact with him, or if I had seen the ‘TV Imedi’ report. Excuse me, but I don’t watch Russian propaganda channels.
They were also interested in whether I knew Paata Burchuladze. That’s a very ridiculous question, because we’ve said it a thousand times — Paata Burchuladze is a relative of our family, his son is my child’s godfather, and I’ve known their family for many years; we have a very good relationship, and I’m very proud of it.
I asked the investigator whose idea it was to think that I could have any connection to some weapons that were dug up somewhere. I don’t believe in any of the SSG’s staged spectacles. Over the past 13 years, I’ve seen and heard many witnesses who were pressured and made to say whatever they wanted. I’ve also seen many SSG agents around us. That’s why I don’t believe at all in their masquerades or circuses, which they are forcing me to take part in,” said Ani Nadareishvili.
For reference, former Defense Minister Bacho Akhalaia was also questioned. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Akhalaia was summoned to the agency to provide a voice sample and to be questioned as a witness.
