Successfully Litigated Cases in June
The court considered head of Khoni local council innocent and delivered an acquittal
With assistance from GYLA’s Kutaisi branch, the Suprme Court considered the head of Khoni local council G.G. innocent and delivered an acquittal.
G.G. was accused of abuse of official duties. Namely, according to the resolution of conviction, he abused official duties in violation of public interests and thus inflicted to the state material damage in the amount of GEL 10200. It should be noted that the first instance court had already delivered an acquittal on the case, which was later annulled by the Appellate Court and G.G. was considered guilty in submitted charges.
The Supreme Court upheld the position of the defense and considered that examined evidences were insufficient for proving submitted charges and for meeting the standard beyond the reasonable doubt. Accordingly, the Supreme Court satisfied G.G.’s and his lawyer’s cassation and annulled the November 7, 2013 decision of Criminal Chamber of Kutaisi Appellate Court. As a result, G.G. was recognized innocent.
