I had a conflict with my partner because of his unworthy behavior – during the scuffle, his friend or a security guard fired a shot into the air with some registered weapon,” said Lasha Basladze while speaking about yesterday’s incident at the restaurant “Qvevri.”
As he noted, he has no complaints regarding what happened.
“I had a conflict with my partner because of his unworthy behavior. I insulted him… it didn’t come to injuries. During the scuffle, his friend or a security guard fired a shot into the air with some registered weapon. The restaurant staff took the weapon away and handed it over to the police. That’s the whole story. I have no complaint – if the police want to demand accountability for the shot in the air, that’s their business,” Lasha Basladze said in a phone conversation with Rustavi 2.
For reference, yesterday there was a shooting at the restaurant “Qvevri.” As the Ministry of Internal Affairs told Interpressnews, the investigation is underway under Article 236 of the Criminal Code, which concerns the illegal purchase, storage, and carrying of firearms.
According to Tamar Abesadze, lawyer of “Qvevri” owner Shalva Tibua, Lasha Basladze, as a tenant, was not fulfilling his obligations, which is why the owner terminated the contract with him. This fact angered Lasha Basladze, and he attacked the owner at the restaurant.
