Georgian businessman Giorgi Ramishvili was detained at Tbilisi International Airport on 6 July after security officers said they found a registered firearm, a magazine and cartridges in his hand luggage. The Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed the arrest but did not specify charges, stating only that it is part of an ongoing investigation. Ramishvili is one of the country’s most prominent entrepreneurs, heading Silknet—Georgia’s largest telecommunications provider—and the Silk Road Group, and he helped establish Euronews Georgia. Some local outlets have suggested the detention could carry political overtones, though officials have not commented on motive. Separately, former Adjara regional leader Tornike Rizhvadze was admitted to hospital on 7 July with a gunshot wound to the chest. Broadcasters Imedi and Rustavi 2, citing an alleged handwritten note, reported the incident as a possible suicide attempt. Authorities have not indicated whether the two events are connected.
