According to the de facto committee, 52-year-old Khvicha Korinteli was arrested on November 24 for illegally crossing the border. Korinteli allegedly deliberately crossed the state border under the influence of alcohol.

6 citizens of Georgia remain in illegal detention of the occupation regime. Among them are Dimitri Korinteli and Giorgi Meladze, who were abducted together with Khvicha Korinteli from Adzvi village of Gori municipality on November 24.
