The court in Tbilisi has arrested the defendant in the case of the events of October 4 last year, Georgy Kirvalidze, for seven days for insulting Bidzina Ivanishvili.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in the case of the action on October 4 last year in Georgia, at least 44 people were detained, including Georgy Kirvalidze, who is considered a participant in group violence.

The defendant in the case of the events of October 4, 2025, Georgy Kirvalidze, was sentenced to seven days of administrative arrest for obscene remarks directed at Bidzina Ivanishvili, writes "Georgia-online" on October 9.

Kirvalidze insulted Ivanishvili at the end of June, immediately after he had entered into a plea deal regarding the events of October 4. In the courtroom, he unexpectedly stated that he does not admit guilt, the procedural agreement should be annulled, and also added an insult directed at Ivanishvili's mother. After that, the deal was annulled, the case was returned to the Tbilisi City Court, but a final verdict for Kirvalidze has not yet been issued.

At the same time, the nine-month pre-trial detention period for Kirvalidze has expired, and he was released from the correctional facility a few weeks ago.

Let us remind you that on October 4, 2025, municipal elections were held in all municipalities of Georgia, electing 64 mayors and 2058 local council deputies for four years. Eight opposition parties refused to participate in the elections, only the opposition parties "Lelo - Strong Georgia" and "Gakharia - for Georgia" did not support the boycott and nominated their candidates. The next large-scale elections in the country are scheduled for 2028, so the current voting is essentially crucial for both the authorities and the opposition, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Municipal elections in Georgia on October 4, 2025".
