Mamuka khazaradze biography of george washington Mamuka Khazaradze is a businessman from the time of bandit Georgia, who became a millionaire from being a member of the communist party - it seems that the mentality of "bandit" Georgia prevails in him, - the chairman of the parliament, Shalva Papuashvili , told journalists about this. According to him, it is important for society to pay attention to Mamuka Khazaradze 's past. We are talking about a two percent party. Sometimes they get involved in arithmetic and sometimes in their own political messages. We have seen that Mamuka Khazaradze has launched a campaign of threats against Bidzina Ivanishvili personally.However, they were not subject to imprisonment as the statute of limitations had already expired by the time of the ruling.[20]
Independent international expert, Pauline David, selected in open competition by Transparency International Georgia, concluded that there was ‘no basis to prove TBC Bank founders Khazaradze, Japaridze committed money laundering’ [21]
The court's decision was deemed as unconstitutional by Georgia's top lawyers, since the prosecution service had never investigated fraud and no due process had been upheld in that regard.
Therefore, the court intervened in the functions of the prosecution service by re-qualifying the charge to fraud.[22]
The US Department of State, ALDE Party, Amnesty International, majority of reputable Georgian NGOs all observed the existence of a possible political motivation behind the trial. As the US State Department's Country Reports on Human Rights Practices observed: "In a March interview with Imedi TV, Georgian Dream party chair Bidzina Ivanishvili accused Khazaradze of directing an assault against the government.
July charges by the Prosecutor General’s Office came just weeks after Khazaradze’s announcement of his intent to establish a civil movement."[23]
