Georgian politician and media investor Erosi Kitsmarishvili was found
dead in Tbilisi on Tuesday.
His body was found inside his car near his flat on Chavchavadze Avenue
in Tbilisi. The Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately launched an
investigation into what appears to have been a suicide. According to
the MIA, Kitsmarishvili had a wound to his head and his pistol was
discovered in the car.
Kitsmarishvili was known as the founder of Rustavi 2, the largest
private TV Company in Georgia, and Ambassador to the Russian
Federation.
In the June 15 local elections, Kitsmarishvili was a candidate for
Mayor in his hometown Rustavi, a city of about 100,000 people south
of Tbilisi. He came third with 12 percent of votes, too little to
proceed to the second round.
The first round was won by the Georgian Dream candidate with 40
percent and the National Movement candidate received 29 percent.
A1+ Company expresses condolences to the family, friends and colleagues
of Kitsmarishvili. During his term of office, A1+ closely cooperated
with Rustavi 2.
