On the 6th of November, the infamous crime boss Lasha Shushanashvili filed a lawsuit against the newspaper Kronika+ after one of its articles accused Shushanashvili of being a "thief in law" (an organised elite criminal in post-Soviet states). Shushanashvili maintains he is not a "thief in law" and that the accusation damages his honour and dignity.
