In the Tbilisi city court may soon begin the controversial process. The lawsuit against the President, Salome Zurabishvili, filed the Georgian thieves in law, now living in Europe. About 30 thieves, including such well-known “authorities” like David Galiani (Dato Swan) and Ilya samsonia (ILO Surgutsky) are outraged that they have been deprived of Georgian citizenship. The President’s decision Zurabishvili turns generals of the criminal world in “stateless persons” and denies them the ability to move freely around the world. Therefore, they intend to challenge its legitimacy.
thieves protects Rights lawyer Tamar Abesadze, who said that Salome Zurabishvili not alone took the decision and acted with the filing of the state security Service (SGB) of Georgia. “It’s developed GBS, law enforcement agencies, state “dark plan” that allows to prevent in the future deportation of the so-called “thieves in law” in Georgia,” she said. According to the lawyer, to deprive a person of Georgian citizenship is necessary to confirm that he had accepted the citizenship of another country or has applied to provide it. But she is sure that no such documents. After the decision of the President of the Georgian thieves are people without any citizenship.
the Logic of the Georgian leadership can understand. The notorious “thieves in law” continue to be a headache associated with Europe of the young Georgian state. It just so happened that most of the “godfathers” of a criminal Association in the former USSR come from Georgia. This is despite the fact that soon after coming to power of Mikhail Saakashvili, Georgia began a determined attack on the underworld. Was adopted the law “On organized crime”, according to which a person can be convicted just for being a thief in law or if it belongs to the world of thieves, occupying a place in the criminal hierarchy. After all, the main problem for law enforcement in the former USSR, in USA or Italy is the fact that, formally, the leaders of the criminal world the plant is not for. They wallets handbags citizens were being dragged, not housebroken and usually not killing anyone. To do this, they have a “downline” comrades. However, now in Georgia, you can put someone to the question: “are You a thief?” was answered in the affirmative. But to answer negatively to such a direct question authority, according to the rules of the underworld, had no right. In 2005 the Georgian Criminal code, an article appeared that included a prison term for membership in the criminal community. A year later, the punishment on her tightened. For membership to the world of thieves in Georgia you can “sit” for a period of 7 to 10 years. Wearing the title of “thief in the lawe” relies a sentence of 9 to 15 years.
In Georgian prisons “debunking” the criminal authorities were put on stream. This was done often by using improper methods. All this led to the fact that the thieves left Georgia and moved to permanent residence in Russia or Europe. “Adventure” Georgian thieves in Spain or Italy are often splashed on the front pages of European Newspapers.
However, rumor has it that before the arrival of Saakashvili to power, and he sometimes did not avoid the assistance of thieves to resolve some of their issues. In the Georgian mass-media there were publications about what his uncle Temur Alasania allegedly had ties with the king of the underworld by Tariel Oniani, who helped Saakashvili to come to power.
In this version there is nothing unusual, because during the Shevardnadze thieves had in Georgia such power that without their approval there hasn’t been one assignment in a more important position. One of the famous Georgian thieves in law, I was personally familiar. Jaba Ioseliani, a thief and a doctor of arts, de facto ruler of Georgia in the late 80s – early 90s. he and his paramilitary “Mkhedrioni” in late 1991 – early 1992 played a decisive role in the overthrow of the first President of Georgia Zviad Gamsakhurdia and led to power of Eduard Shevardnadze, then the JBA for a few years actually became the first person in the country. It was he who unleashed the war in Abkhazia, and in 1995 was arrested and held in prison for 5 years. His way with Shevardnadze went. Jaba spent in prisons and camps about 25 years, but was an intelligent man, was friends with writers, artists, versed in the art. He was an integral part of the Georgian Soviet and post-Soviet creative elite, Tbilisi “high society.” It can rightfully be called “the mirror of Georgian revolution”, as Leo Tolstoy was the mirror of the Russian.
All the madness of the Soviet liberal intelligentsia, which on the decline of the Soviet Union saw the hero in any anti-social element, which, in its opinion, opposed to the existing order, manifested in her relationship to the king of the underworld. It is well documented in the film “Thieves in law” Yuri Kara. In this criminal authorities appear sort of “noble robbers” living on their own, these concepts of honor and justice. The main character of the film was a real prototype – known Abkhazian kingpin Yuri Lakoba nicknamed Hadzharat. In Abkhazia the memory of it alive to this day. He even called “Abkhaz Robin hood.” His brother – well-known Abkhazian politician. In the USSR, the community of thieves Abkhazia and Georgia were closely intertwined, lived about the same laws. And in the Georgian-Abkhazian war the great role played by the criminal authorities on both sides.
Saakashvili managed to AC�� to break the backbone of “the institution of thieves in law” in Georgia. Now they have become a headache for Europe. Just recently, the French publication Valeurs Actuelles reported that the thieves in the law of Georgia organized criminal network engaged in the theft of goods in European supermarkets. The Georgian arrest of the thief could lead to his deportation to his homeland. And to mess with him will have already the Georgian law enforcement officers. But if you deprive a crime boss of Georgian citizenship – he ceases to be a problem in Tbilisi. That is why Zurabishvili made the decision, but the thieves, as you can see, disagreed with him.
