The case of the fatal beating of 28-year-old tutor Giga Avaliani in October 2025 attracted significant attention in Georgia.

Those arrested were allegedly in contact with notorious mob boss Mamuka Shubitidze, also known as Mamuka Kakhetinsky or Davit Baratashvili.

The first reports of his alleged assassination appeared in early March.

At least four individuals are recognised as victims in the case.

They were shot at after attempting to break up a fight.

The man, who came from Anapa, had hung the head on the fence of a mosque in an Adygean village in 2025.

Prosecutors say Vladimir Kaishev ordered the murder of his business partner to gain control of a mineral water plant.
