A French prosecutor said in his final speech that
former Georgian Defence Minister Davit Kezerashvili should not be extradited,
Kezerashvili’s lawyer Shota Mindeli commented. According to the
lawyer, the French court will make a decision about Kezerashvili’s extradition
on February 27, while the decision whether Kezerashvili will be released on
bail or not will be announced by a judge on February 3, reports GHN based on
InterpressNews information.
According
to Kezerashvili’s lawyers, there is no any ground for leaving Kezerashvili in
custody till the announcement of the verdict. They hope he will not be
extradited.
The
trial of the former Defence Minister was held in France yesterday. Kezerashvili
was arrested in France by the request of the Georgian side. Two criminal cases
have been launched against Kezerashvili in Georgia.
