Gorgian national`s hearing postponed
Malaysia’s Kota Kanibalu Highest Court has postponed the hearing in the case of a Georgian national, Babutsa Gordadze, who was arrested in Malaysia with another Georgian citizen Darejan Kokhtashvili for smuggling a large amount of drugs in October 2010, 24 Hours reports. The hearing was rescheduled to May 23.
A prominent lawyer in Malaysia, Reni Chami is defending the Georgians at their trial, which is closed to the media. Reportedly, discussion of Gordadze’ case in the court was postponed because there was no interpreter for the Georgian defendant.
The date of Kokhtashvili`s hearing at the Malaysian Court has not been set. Both Georgians may face capital punishment in accordance with local legislation, however, Georgian authorities involved in both cases are trying to convince the Malaysian judiciary that the two defendants were unknowing transporters of drugs.
