Georgy Chigladze's lawyer published a recording from the hotel cameras in Telavi.

The video from the cameras of the Agarani Estate hotel confirms that water was poured on the wedding participants, although the Russian-speaking tourists with whom they had a conflict denied this.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the attack by a resident of Georgia, Georgy Chigladze, on a Russian-speaking tourist caused a stir on social media. According to one of the incident participants, the investigation confirmed that the girls did not pour water on the wedding guests, did not insult them, and did not damage the equipment. By August 3, the Russian citizen who was struck by Chigladze left Georgia with her friends.

Lawyer Lasha Kapanadze, representing Georgy Chigladze's interests, published a video recording from the case materials today. The footage was captured by the hotel camera where the wedding took place, before the incident involving Chigladze and the Russian-speaking tourists.

The video, which has no sound, shows wedding guests sitting at tables on the veranda. The guests are calmly chatting with each other, but at some point, their attention is drawn to someone on the balcony - people start looking up. Initially, some of them smile shyly, then their expressions change. Then, liquid is poured from above onto the veranda - it hits two people standing below.

As the lawyer explained in his post, the tourists from the balcony were shouting provocative remarks at the wedding participants. "Since the wedding guests did not react to these shouts, irritated Russian tourists began pouring an unknown liquid down from the third floor," the publication on Kapanadze's Facebook page states.

The people who were splashed with the liquid are musician Aleksandre Mrelashvili and wedding organizer Mariam Omanadze, the lawyer explained. "The liquid also hit the musical equipment in front of Aleksandre Mrelashvili, resulting in damage to the equipment," he added.

According to the lawyer, among Russian tourists, there is a widespread practice of insurance fraud abroad. "They take out insurance in their country, and on the way to another country, they provoke a conflict and illegal actions against themselves, becoming victims in a criminal case, and then, upon returning to their country, they receive large sums from the insurance fund," wrote Lasha Kapanadze.

The lawyer's publication garnered 23 comments in six hours. "Unfortunately, when uploading to social networks, the quality of the video deteriorated, and now it is unclear how much liquid the women, citizens of the Russian Federation, poured," wrote lawyer Mariam Durglishvili, who is also involved in Chigladze's case, in the comments.

Some users in the comments expressed outrage that the tourists were allowed to leave the country after the criminal case was initiated.

"On July 19, the very day of Georgy's arrest, I personally raised this issue and demanded that no one be allowed to leave the country until the investigation determined their responsibility. However, the final decision of the investigative commission is its prerogative," Durglishvili wrote in response to one of the commentators. She added that the investigative commission had all the video recordings related to the incident since Chigladze's arrest, and there were "very many" of these recordings.

The Russian-speaking tourists, who present themselves as victims, have repeatedly made statements regarding the case that were later not confirmed. Thus, the lawyer of the tourists, Lali Apciauri, like them, distanced herself from the wording that the conflict arose because of the language, as noted by the publication Paper Kartuli on July 21.

"According to Apciauri, the incident was not motivated by language or nationality, and the women have no claims in this regard against the investigation," the publication states. However, in their initial statements about the incident and the published videos, they claimed that Chigladze's aggression towards them was indeed provoked by the Russian language.
