" Audio recordings, broadcast recently clearly confirm that an investigation and internal inquiry of Ivane Merabishvili"s withdrawal from the prison cell was rigged and Georgian authorities provided fraudulent data to the Strasbourg Court," Vano Merabishvili"s lawyer Giorgi Chiviashvili said at a special briefing today.

He spoke audio materials that "Rustavi 2" has released and where the former high -official of the Prosecutor"s Office speaks about materials, which compromises the government.

Vano Merabishvili"s lawyers call on the government to release the former Prime Minister immediately.

"These records show that Davit Tsukhishvili was waiting for nine months before interrogation. On December 14, 2013, when Merabishvili was taken out of the cell, kidnapped by the chief prosecutor, Tsukhishvili worked as a general inspector of the Ministry of Corrections and was the right hand of Subeliani. This man was investigating the case regarding Merabishvili"s withdrawal. He has viewed the video, as well as checkd the magazine, wrote a report that he has not seen anything interesting as a result of actions, conducted by them,"- said Chiviashvili.
