Earlier, the European Fund for Democracy paid 40 thousand lari (more than $ 11.6 thousand) as collateral for Melia.

On February 23, Georgian law enforcement agencies carried out a special operation to detain Nika Melia, who is accused of organizing the storming of parliament during the anti-Russian actions in the summer of 2019.

It was also reported that more than 20 of his supporters were detained at the UNM office in Tbilisi.
