The so-called “criminal authority” - Koba Mefarishvili - was killed in Samtredia. He was known by the nickname “Kru”.
According to “Kurier”, the name of Mefarishvili is linked to the armed attack that happened in the past. It is possible that the motive for the murder was revenge.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs launched an investigation into the fact under Article 108 [premeditated murder].
