Billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili may get Georgian citizenship soon

Tbilisi City Court ordered a hearing on the merits of the case of termination of citizenship of billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, who is in opposition to the authorities of Georgia, and his wife Catherine Khvedelidze on Dec.12.

The announcement was made after the completion of the preparatory meeting of the court, which was held on December 5, at the 45th day after making a court claim with a request for invalidation of the relevant instructions of President of Georgia on the withdrawal of Ivanishvili's citizenship.

At the preparatory meeting, the plaintiff made a motion that the defendant was represented by only the presidential administration, as they say, "the person making the decision do not meet the law," and together with the fact that this status has not been submitted to the Civil Registry Agency of the Ministry of Justice, with which the judge agreed, but left the agency representatives in the status of mandatory third party.
