Irakli Lataria accuses faction chairman of abducting, beating, threatening and torturing him

Irakli Lataria, the former head of the Analytical Service of the Alliance of Patriots, accuses faction chairman Giorgi Lomia of abducting him through cheating, beating, threatening and torturing him. 

Irakli Lataria told journalists about the fact that occurred in October last year. According to him, in October 2016 he was taken away from his home to the office of the Alliance of Patriots located at the Cinema House. Lataria says that Kenkabashvili, who, according to him, was an active police officer, asked him to leave the house. Kenkabashvili told him that he had his personal correspondence which included aggressive phrases about Davit Tarkhan-Mouravi , to which, Lataria replied that he had not done any such thing.

"He told me that one of his colleagues sent him photos of the texts, which were taken out of the context and would be perceived as a cursing. He told me that I had to kill myself or they would surely kill me, as they had done so such many things in the past," said Irakli Lataria.

According to him, he was then brought to the office of the Patriots Alliance, where Giorgi Lomia came and they started to beat him. Lataria also alleges that Kenkebashvili was beating him with a weapon. 

As for why he had been hiding this fact, Lataria said he was afraid as he was threatened to be abducted or his wife to be injured.

Irakli Lataria received a legal consultation at the Georgian Young Lawyers Association. He is going to file a complaint against Lomaia and Kenkvhelashvili at the Chief Prosecutor's Office today.
