Levan Murusidze: <\/strong>I\u2019d rather have just one pheasant fluttering over the Alazani Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>What links Levan Murusidze to lands just a few kilometers from the Alazani Valley?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who owns 170 hectares of wheat fields in the Shiraki Valley?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze:<\/strong>My father bought it and registered it to my name. My family owns it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Mr. Murusidze, did you register lands in Kakheti to your Tamta Mikanadze\u2019s name? Do you confirm it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>120 m2<\/sup> apartment by the Hippodrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Did you buy it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze:<\/strong>Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>What ties are there between Tamta Mikanadze and judge Levan Murusidze?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Tamta Mikanadze is your acquaintance, isn\u2019t she?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levan Murusidze:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Did you buy this apartment too for her?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Who owns this property? And why is Levan Murusidze dodging Studio Monitor\u2019s questions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murusidze\u2019s Alazani Valley Secret<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levan Murusidze: <\/strong>I\u2019d rather have just one pheasant fluttering along the Alazani than own all of Solomon\u2019s treasure, Croesus\u2019s riches, fabled gold mines, or shining rubies. This is why they\u2019ll never beat us. I\u2019d rather have just one pheasant fluttering along the Alazani Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaved into poetic ornaments, Levan Murusidze\u2019s sentiments toward the Alazani Valley are not coincidental. Levan Murusidze\u2019s associate owns hectares of land in Sighnaghi and Dedoplistskaro, just a few kilometers from the Alazani Valley. The judge\u2019s acquaintance became co-owner of a wheat field in the Shiraki Valley, famed for its rich natural resources and fertile crops, in 2016. Today we present to you the results of Studio Monitor\u2019s months-long investigation into the ties between Levan Murusidze and the lands\u2019 formal owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>At midnight, July 16, 2022, Soso Gogashvili, former deputy head of the State Security Service (SSS), was arrested. Apprehended at his home in a special operation and subsequently remanded, the former senior official was charged with disclosing state secrets and violating privacy. From his prison cell, Soso Gogashvili vowed to expose the judiciary. On September 22, 2022, he made a statement from jail and addressed Levan Murusidze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soso Gogashvili: <\/strong>My Murus, call it a threat or whatever you want, but in my world it means calling out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>In a letter sent from jail, the former SSS official disclosed the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soso Gogashvili: <\/strong>Chinchaladze and Murusidze own about 100 hectares of land in Dedoplistskaro, Kakheti. They bought it with my help in 2016. The parcels are registered to their authorized person. And they needed a knowledgeable person to take care of it. They asked me to find one, which I did. Since 2016 until my arrest, they maintained contact through a member of my security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>On the same day, Alexandre Samkharadze, former head of Soso Gogashvili\u2019s security, confirmed the former SSS official\u2019s words to TV Pirveli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandre Samkharadze<\/strong>: In 2016, I already had active contact with Murusidze. After selling wheat, I would bring the cash to Murusidze, about 100-200 thousand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>On September 22, TV Imedi aired a conversation between Levan Murusidze and Alexandre Samkharadze. This secret recording made by the judge shows that Levan Murusidze maintained close relations with both Soso Gogashvili and Alexandre Samkharadze. Among others, the conversation also touched on the Kakheti lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levan Murusidze: <\/strong>I wake up this morning to find some unheard of nonsense on INTERPRESSNEWS. He decided to go against the court and me or whatever it is. I really didn\u2019t expect that. So, I tell him, \u201cIf you choose this lowlife path, might as well go all the way.\u201d Misha has nothing to do with this land. It belongs to one family, and he can settle whomever he pleases there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Next day, Alexandre Samkharadze, in a conversation with media outlets, identified the formal owner of the land in Kakheti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandre Samkharadze<\/strong>: It is Tamta Mikanadze. She registered this piece of land in 2016\u2014in August, if I\u2019m not mistaken. And now, on September 16, 2022, she fast-reregistered it to her mother and sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>So the registration was just a formality?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandre Samkharadze: <\/strong>Of course. That\u2019s why it was registered to a different name, to avoid mentioning Murusidze or Chinchaladze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>After this information got out, media outlets disseminated documents showing that Tamta Mikanadze, in 2016, became co-owner of 170 hectares, i.e. 1,700,00 m2<\/sup>, in Kakheti. The land\u2019s co-owner is Khatuna Martkoplishvili, Soso Gogashvili\u2019s sister-in-law. The statement of the former SSS deputy head about Murusidze buying the land with his help is further backed up by a document from the registry showing that the new owners paid 168,000 USD for the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documents obtained by Studio Monitor reveal that\u2014on September 16, 2022, i.e. a few days before Levan Murusidze recorded his conversation with the head of Gogashvili\u2019s security\u2014Tamta Mikanadze kept some of the land and fast-registered the remaining portion of the property to her mother, Manana Doborjginidze, and sister, Shorena Mikanadze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only after that Levan Murusidze, in a conversation with Alexandre Samkharadze, said that the land belonged to one family. In this way, he confirmed being acquainted with Tamta Mikanadze and being aware of the land deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studio Monitor set out collecting information about Tamta Mikanadze and probing into her ties to Levan Murusidze. We uncovered numerous interviews with Tamta Mikanadze revealing that she works for the National Food Agency. We also saw her leave the office\u2019s territory. A little later, we filmed her parking near a building on Kartozia Street, Saburtalo District. Tamta Mikanadze\u2019s car was repeatedly seen by the same building over the following days, allowing to conclude that this is her residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the process of our journalistic investigation, we also filmed, on numerous occasions, another car. The automobile belongs to Levan Murusidze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judge never reported this new Mercedes ML in his financial declaration, though we frequently noticed it in his residence\u2019s front yard in Dzegvi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks later, Levan Murusidze reappeared on Kartozia Street, this time in a different car, a Hyundai Elantra owned by the court. We filmed this car parked near Tamta Mikanadze\u2019s building at different times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 14, after once again detecting the judge\u2019s car parked outside, we entered the building to doorstep him by the entrance of Tamta Mikanadze\u2019s apartment. We sought to ascertain that the clan judge was visiting Tamta Mikanadze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We filmed Levan Murusidze leave her apartment. At the doorstep, you can see Tamta Mikanadze see him off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>Mr. Murusidze, you frequently visit your acquaintance, Tamta Mikanadze\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levan Murusidze: <\/strong>Yes, so what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist:  <\/strong>Soso Gogashvili identified Tamta Mikanadze as your confidant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levan Murusidze: <\/strong>Yes, so what?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>And you registered your lands in Kakheti to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levan Murusidze: <\/strong>Yes, so what?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>Tamta Mikanadze is your close associate, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levan Murusidze: <\/strong>Yes, so what?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>The judge confirmed his close acquaintance with Tamta. Then he tried to escape and headed toward the staircase, to dodge our questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>Did you register lands in Kakheti to Tamta Mikanadze? Do you confirm?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Murusidze left our question unanswered. Next, we visited Tamta Mikanadze and asked how she came to own 170 hectares in Kakheti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>In 2016, some 1,700,000 m2<\/sup> of land previously bought in Kakheti by Levan Murusidze was registered to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze:<\/strong>Levan Murusidze didn\u2019t buy it. My father bought it and registered it to my name. My family owns it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>How did your family buy it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>My father did. He worked in agronomy all his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>Soso Gogashvili claims that Levan Murusidze bought the land and then reregistered it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze:<\/strong>Whatever Soso Gogashvili says\u2026 I\u2019ve nothing to add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Notably, Khatuna Martkoplishvili, Soso Gogashvili\u2019s sister-in-law, is Tamta Mikanadze\u2019s co-owner of said 170 hectares of land. Tamta Mikanadze did not specify her or her father\u2019s ties to Khatuna Martkoplishvili.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>How did it happen, then, that Khatuna Martkoplishvili, Soso Gogashvili\u2019s sister-in-law, is one of the land\u2019s co-owners?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>I can\u2019t tell you. I didn\u2019t know that back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>Why, there was a co-owner, and you didn\u2019t know about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>My father bought the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>How did your father cross paths with Khatuna Martkoplishvili?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>The land is mine, my family\u2019s. That\u2019s all I can tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>How did your father cross paths with Khatuna Martkoplishvili?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze:<\/strong>I don\u2019t know.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Tamta Mikanadze is lying when she denies knowledge of Khatuna Martkoplishvili. Documents obtained by us from the Public registry show that the purchase deed was signed jointly by Mikanadze and Khatuna Martkoplishvili, Soso Gogashvili\u2019s sister-in-law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the investigation against Soso Gogashvili, on the request of the State Security Service, the court seized his and his family\u2019s properties, including the part of land owned by Khatuna Martkoplishvili. Soso Gogashvili\u2019s refused to comment on this property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze\u2019s father, Ednar Mikanadze, worked as a public servant for years. In 1999-2004, he filed financial declarations as the head of one of the units at the Ministry of Agriculture. Tamta Mikanadze\u2019s mother, Manana Doborjginidze, was also a public servant. In 2021, the Statistics Office awarded her for 50 years of service. By the time she filed a financial declaration, their family income was 2,000 GEL, and their real estate included an apartment on Nutsubidze Plateau, Tbilisi. Later, 1,500 m2<\/sup> of land in Gardabani was added to Ednar Mikanadze\u2019s assets, along with a parcel of land and a house in Guria registered to Manana Doborjginidze\u2019s name. No business is registered to Ednar Mikanadze in the Business Registry, and he has never been listed as an individual entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>We asked Manana Doborjginidze about the ownership of the land in Shiraki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>Did your husband buy this land?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manana Doborjginidze: <\/strong>Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>How did he manage to do that?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MananaDoborjginidze: <\/strong>He had a senior position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>How did your father buy it? He was a public servant filing relevant financial declarations\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>I can\u2019t tell you anything. This is Levan Murusidze\u2019s land. That\u2019s what I have to tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>How could your family afford 168,000 USD?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>I don\u2019t know. I can\u2019t tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Information obtained by Studio Monitor shows that Tamta Mikanadze has lived in a prestigious AXIS building in Saburtalo District for years. We inquired into the ownership of this 120 m2<\/sup> apartment with a view of the Hippodrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist (to Murusidze): <\/strong>Did you buy this apartment too for her?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Levan Murusidze didn\u2019t answer our question about buying an apartment in a prestigious AXIS building for Tamta Mikanadze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>You\u2019ve been residing in an AXIS building for years. Did you buy it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze:<\/strong>It\u2019s my family\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>Did you buy it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze:<\/strong>Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>How did you buy it? You\u2019re a public servant, an official failing to file a declaration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>My family bought it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>How did your family afford it? Your family\u2019s declaration is public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>I don\u2019t file declarations. My family does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>Why isn\u2019t this apartment listed in the registry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>I can\u2019t tell you more than I have. No matter what I say, it will be twisted anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice:<\/strong> TamtaMikanadze couldn\u2019t explain to us why she failed to list this apartment in the registry as her property. The last Public Registry listing of this building, filed in April 2023, includes the owners of all apartments. The Mikanadze residence, however, is still listed as AXIS property. At the time, a square meter in the building cost 1,000 USD on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze\u2019s LinkedIn page shows that, since 2010, she served as head of the planning and analysis unit of the food safety department at the National Food Agency. The agency\u2019s 2017 payroll roster sets her annual salary at 18,000 GEL. Mikanadze couldn\u2019t explain how she could afford a 120,000 USD apartment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadzehas an underage child born in the US 4 years ago, thus likely being a US citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>You gave birth in America. Did Murusidze finance your trip to the US?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamta Mikanadze: <\/strong>I financed it myself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>As we asked Murusidze about the land in Kakheti upon leaving Tamta Mikanadze\u2019s apartment, the judge fled down the staircase. We also asked him whether or not he bought the AXIS apartment for Tamta Mikanadze, but he wouldn\u2019t reply, running down 14 floors in one breath, getting into his car, and taking off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years ago, Studio Monitor presented a journalistic investigation about Levan Murusidze\u2019sundeclared assets. We discovered that the leader of the judiciary was holding back in his declarations real estate registered to his permanent female cohabitant. We also found out that the woman, Lela Chania, is into luxury brand clothing, accessories, and jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This journalistic investigation was mentioned in a report of the US Department of State. A few months later, the US sanctioned Levan Murusidze and three other judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgian Dream rejected the opposition\u2019s demand to let a parliamentary commission probe into the issue of the sanctioned judges. Worse still, the court annulled the decision of the Anticorruption Council\u2019s Advisory Board on studying the financial declarations of Levan Murusidze and other judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Recommendations on preventing corruption among judges have yet to be implemented, the European Commission emphasizes, listing judicial vetting as one of the mandatory recommendations for Georgia\u2019s accession to the EU. Nazi Janezashvilli, founder of Court Watch, an organization working on judiciary issues, argues that 60 judges, including Levan Murusidze, could be subjected to vetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nazi Janezashvilli<\/strong>: The members of the High Council of Justice\u2014whose appointment is another issue\u2014must be vetted, similar to court chairs. If they believe themselves to be conscientious enough to have passed vetting in the past, why are they scared now? Apparently, they seriously fear failing the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist: <\/strong>With vetting in place, how exactly is their conscientiousness tested?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nazi Janezashvilli<\/strong>: One of the key criteria is their possible involvement in corrupt deals, how they amassed wealth, how they became rich abusing their positions as judges, with their salaries not sufficing to that end. Also, the way they make decisions on various court cases, whether or not they apply influence, or are subjected to influence themselves, in making relevant decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>This recommendation from the EU has proved unacceptable to Georgian Dream. Despite sanctions and ample evidence, Bidzina Ivanishvili does not question the objectivity and decency of the judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bidzina Ivanishvili<\/strong>: Judicial vetting is demanded to this day. In other words, it\u2019s the adoption of foreign governance to carry out repressions and staff the judiciary with agents. And that disregarding the fact that all independent international studies hail Georgia\u2019s judiciary as fair and effective, even ahead of the courts of many EU member states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist\u2019s voice: <\/strong>Judges met EU-requested vetting quite critically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levan Murusidze: <\/strong>For years, work toward discrediting the judiciary has been on, with persecutions and demonization used against judges. In other words, fertile ground is being prepared to edge judges out of the court system. I am a conscientious judge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
