Official: FBI to Unveil Examination Results over Zhvania’s Death in one Month

Giorgi Janashia, Deputy Prosecutor General, and Bryan Paarmann, legal attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Georgia, who also leads the FBI office in Tbilisi, gave a briefing on February 11 regarding the probe being carried out by the FBI team into the death of late Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania.

“The U.S. experts agree with the preliminary conclusions of the Georgian law enforcers regarding the reasons of the death. Apparently  the results of their expertise will be ready in a month,” Giorgi Janashia said at a news briefing.

Officials say that Zurab Zhvania died of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a faulty gas heating devise which was installed in the apartment where Zhvania’s dead body was found on February 3.

“The group of experts from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has completed its work in Georgia. They left for the United States and took the clothes, samples of blood and other things for further examination,” Giorgi Janashia said.

Bryan Paarmann said that the team of FBI experts which examined the case is highly professional and “participated in the investigation of the most recent anthrax attempt against the United States Senator [Tom Daschle] and the television correspondent Tom Brokaw.”

“In cooperation with very competent and professional Georgian allies and counterparts, we were given access to all information within the case, the case files and the crime scene, where we collected various data during the experiment run two days ago,” he added.
