FORMER ADJARAN LEADER\'S PROPERTY CONFISCATED
By empty (9/6/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The Supreme Court of the Adjar Autonomous Republic ruled on 6 September that the personal fortune of former Adjaran leader Aslan Abashidze and some 30 members of his family, variously estimated at between 100 million laris ($52 million) and $70 million, could not have been acquired legally, and should therefore be confiscated. That property includes land, several villas, bank accounts, and luxury cars. Abashidze stepped down under pressure from the Georgian central government in May and has since lived in Moscow.Visit also
