The Ministry of Internal Affairs has filed a case against Tornike Razmadze with the Tbilisi City Court under Article 166 of the Criminal Code of Georgia — petty hooliganism — due to a comment he left on a social network. The norm requires three cumulative elements: public space, addressee, and actual violation of order. The case materials do not confirm any of them — the victim's column in the protocol is blank, and two documents contradict each other regarding the date of the action.
