**Strasbourg Court Declares Giorgi Mamaladze’s Complaint Inadmissible**
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has made a decision regarding the complaint filed by Giorgi Mamaladze, a Georgian citizen. According to a statement released by the Ministry of Justice, the ECHR declared the second complaint filed by Mamaladze inadmissible.
**Background on the Case**
Mamaladze had previously filed two complaints with the Strasbourg Court. The first complaint concerned a verdict issued against him related to the so-called cyanide case. In November 2022, the ECHR upheld the position of the Ministry of Justice and found no violation of the right to a fair trial regarding the circumstances of obtaining evidence.
**The Second Complaint**
Mamaladze’s second complaint alleged that his telephone conversation with his representative was secretly monitored by the State Security Service. He claimed that this monitoring hindered his ability to freely submit his first complaint to the Strasbourg Court. The Ministry of Justice stated that Mamaladze was able to file a complaint and send a large volume of materials without any interference.
**ECHR’s Decision**
The European Court of Human Rights assessed the evidence presented by the Ministry of Justice and found no confirmation of surveillance on communications between Giorgi Mamaladze and his lawyer. Therefore, they declared the second complaint inadmissible as manifestly ill-founded.
**Commentary**
This decision marks a significant step in resolving Mamaladze’s complaints with the Strasbourg Court. The ECHR’s assessment that there is no evidence to support the claim of secret monitoring highlights the importance of providing concrete proof when making such claims. This ruling also underscores the Ministry of Justice’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
**Analysis**
The declaration of Mamaladze’s complaint as inadmissible suggests that the State Security Service did not engage in any wrongdoing regarding the alleged surveillance on communications between Mamaladze and his lawyer. However, it is essential to note that this decision does not preclude future investigations or complaints related to similar allegations.
**What’s Next?**
As the Ministry of Justice stated, this decision brings closure to Mamaladze’s second complaint with the Strasbourg Court. The public can access more information about this case by reading the full statement from the Ministry of Justice.
