"If the church believes his innocence, we would already free him,"- said Father Iakob in regard to the case of Giorgi Mamaladze. The bishop responded to the part of the clergy who speaks about the innocence of the archpriest. Asked whether "the Patriarch thinks that Archpriest Giorgi Mamaladze is guilty," Archbishop Iakob says that even patriarch considers him as guilty.
According to him, even Father Grigol has confirmed in a private conversation with him, that the Archpriest Mamaladze is guilty.

Archbishop Iacob also apologizes to the statement of Archpriest Giorgi Mamaladze and says that he does not actually use it in the Patriarchate. Archbishop Jacob Dekonozi refers to Giorgi Mamaladze as a liar.

In addition, Archbishop Iakob warns the clergy who wants to manage a special gathering on Cyianide case.

"If those, who protect Archpriest Mamaladze don"t calm down, they will have problems,"- said Father Iakob.
