“None of them consider themselves guilty, we are waiting for the materials. At the moment, they are using the right to remain silent, but no-one is refusing what will be necessary for investigative actions. At this stage, we do not even know what the accusation is. Based on the interests of the defense, I cannot say anything specific, I am waiting for the case materials,” Revaz Acharadze, the lawyer of the arrested employees of Greenservice+, told media outlet Interpressnews.ge.
Acharadze explained that the accused did not expect to be arrested.
