Moved to Turkey for Medical Care: Tornike Rizhvadze's Transition
In a recent development, Tornike Rizhvadze, the former Chairman of the Adjara Government, is currently receiving further treatment in a clinic in Turkey, following a gunshot wound to the chest.
The initial hospitalization took place at "Geohospitals" in Sagarejo, after which Rizhvadze was moved to the First University Clinic in Tbilisi for further treatment. The exact nature of his current condition and the reason for the transfer to Turkey for further treatment have not been specified.
Lali Turdzeladze, Clinical Director of the First University Clinic, confirmed the transfer of Rizhvadze, but no further details about his condition or treatment in Turkey have been made available.
The gun used in the incident was reportedly stolen, and Alexi Akhvelediani was detained for negligent storage of a firearm in connection with the case. The court released Akhvelediani on 30,000 GEL bail.
The exact circumstances leading to Rizhvadze's gunshot wound remain undisclosed. However, according to the prosecutor's statement, Rizhvadze is suspected to have used a stolen gun to fatally shoot himself.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is involved in the case, but specifics about their role have not been disclosed.
This incident occurred on July 7, and Rizhvadze has been in a stable but serious condition since then, having sustained a lung injury due to the gunshot wound.
