Informal meeting between majority MP and judiciary authorities one day before Justice Council meeting

New Secretary of the High Council of Justice and the first scandalous information around Giorgi Mikautadze. "Courier" gained a photo taken in one of the restaurants, depicting Levan Murusidze`s replacement Giorgi Mikautadze, majority MP Vano Zardiashvili and chairperson of the Court of Appeals Mikheil Chinchaladze.

One-hour conversation was held on Mtatsminda, before the sitting of the High Council of Justice. The civil sector was talking about the influence of the Georgian Dream MP on the court system a month ago. In the study published by influential Georgian NGOs, detailed description of how MP Zaradiashvili influenced the judges is decribed.

The information source provided Rustavi 2 with another photo, where the new secretary of the council was together with other leaders of the Georgian Dream and Deputy Chief Prosecutor Giorgi Gabitashvili. Giorgi Mikautadze himself has not commented on this issue today.

Vano Zardiashvili accuses the "Young Lawyers Association" in the action against court interests. Ana Natsvlishvili speaks about conflict of interests.

This is not the first noisy statement when the civil sector speaks about Vano Zaradiashvili`s influence on the judiciary. Representatives of NGOs think that Zardiashvili keeps influence and this time New Secretary of the High Council of Justice was also added to the clan group.
