Chronicle Plus editor Kiladze has been arrested in Georgia.

Journalist Eliso Kiladze has been arrested in connection with the call center case against former Georgian prosecutor Otar Partskhaladze. According to the prosecutor's office, the fraudulently obtained funds were used to finance opposition media.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," Otar Partskhaladze, who has been arrested in absentia, is accused of organizing the murder of Levan Jangveladze, the brother of a crime boss. Partskhaladze has denied his guilt.

Elisso Kiladze, editor-in-chief of the publications "Khronika Plus" and "CNews," has been arrested in Tbilisi. She is charged with fraud and money laundering, along with former Prosecutor General Otar Partskhaladze and brothers David and Giorgi Mikadze, according to Prosecutor Mikheil Sadradze. According to him, a "large-scale criminal call center case" has been solved.

"Criminal prosecution for fraud and money laundering committed by an organized crime group has been initiated against ten individuals," Interpressnews quotes him as saying.

Along with Kiladze, former Chief Prosecutor Otar Partskhaladze, who fled to Russia, and brothers Davit and Giorgi Mikadze, accused of murdering businessman Levan Jangveladze, are also charged in the same case. "The detained members of the organized criminal group face prison terms ranging from 9 to 12 years," Sadradze said.

According to the prosecutor's office, criminal cases have been opened against ten individuals as part of the investigation into the call centers, charging them with fraud and money laundering committed by an organized criminal group. The case concerns a scheme that operated between 2020 and 2023, in which more than 200 foreign citizens were defrauded of approximately $9.5 million in cryptocurrency.

"Charges of patronizing this call center will be brought against former Georgian Prosecutor General Otar Partskhaladze, who is a fugitive on a previous charge of organizing a contract killing," Sova quotes Prosecutor Mikheil Sadradze as saying.

According to him, large amounts of fraudulent proceeds were also used to finance various opposition media outlets. "The call center in Tbilisi had Russian-, English-, and German-language branches. Call center operators, under orders from their superiors, lured users to fake trading platforms with promises of profitable investments," Sadradze said.
