The court found Giorgi Bakhutashvili guilty of an administrative offense, but the judge Nino Enukidze has issued a verbal warning to actor.

He faces administrative charges of petty hooliganism and disobedience to a lawful order by the police [Articles 166 and 173].

Bakhutashvili was detained in the early hours of November 30.

“I categorically disagree with the accusation. I arrived at the protest quite late, around 5:30 AM, and I didn’t hear any orders [from the law enforcers]. The only interaction I had was with a police officer who was dragging an unconscious person. I didn’t block the road, I didn’t physically engage in any way. At that moment, I heard shouting behind me and was struck by an object, likely a baton. Then I was taken along the same path as the young man I had been pleading for them not to detain”, - said the actor at the court hearing.
