The offer made to Nika Melia to apply to the court to change his detention in case of bail is still valid, said today the Prosecutor Amiran Guluashvili.

“We made an offer to the defense on February 25. We offered them a legitimate, lawful means to change the detention imposed on Nika Melia with bail if the defense wished so. The detention of Nika Melia has never been the goal for the Prosecutor’s office

In a public statement, the prosecution offered the defense a specific legal way to replace the measure of restraint with a more lenient measure. However, the defense is deliberately misleading the public, claiming there is no such legal mechanism.

Even first-year students of any law faculty know that the prosecution has the right to request a change of imprisonment on bail”, - said Amiran Guluashvili.
