Tbilgazi Ex-Top Executive Sentenced to Life Imprisonment

Tbilisi City Court has found Giorgi Gvichiani, ex-top executive of the Tbilisi gas distribution company, guilty of masterminding the murder of Nika Lominadze, the financial manager of the electricity distribution company Telasi. Gvichiani was sentenced to life imprisonment on August 15.

Gvichiani, who was arrested on March 7, was the commercial manager of Telasi at the time of Lominadze?s murder.

Police already arrested Gvichiani once in June 2003 on charges of financial fraud, but he was released on bail. Gvichiani was appointed as the Director-General of Tbilgazi last year with the recommendation of Tbilisi Mayor Gigi Ugulava.
