On May 31, 2025, during the broadcast of “Nodar Meladze’s Shabati” on “TV Pirveli,” journalist Tamta Dolenjashvili presented an investigative report about former members of the “Georgian Dream” party being fictitiously employed in high-paying positions at various state-owned companies. The journalist approached one such individual, Luka Kurtanidze—a former “Georgian Dream” MP—at the Georgian Parliament building to ask questions, but was met with physical violence.
