Gia Volski, the first Vice-speaker of the Parliament, commented on nominating Irakli Shotadze as a candidate for the Prosecutor General position.

According to the information of the General Prosecutor’s Office, lawyer David Kodanashvili has applied to them to register as a candidate for the Prosecutor General of Georgia, while another candidate - lawyer Irakli Shotadze – has been nominated by LEPL Georgian Technical University.
