Badri Koguashvili (Badri) is now essentially the acting thief in law No. 1 while Zakhar Kalashov (Shakro Molodoy) is serving a large sentence. Badri likes to position himself as some kind of influential “gray eminence” who with one word can stop the most brutal “war of thieves.” He has historically had a very good relationship with Tariel Oniani (Taro). Therefore, when he was released, they immediately began negotiations on joint actions. Badri would be quite happy for Taro to become “thief in law No. 1”, and he would remain next to him as a “gray eminence”. However, for this it was necessary to resolve the issue with the old message about the decoronation of the Tarot, which was organized by Ded Hasan. More than 30 crime bosses signed it. Otherwise, Oniani could not be considered a full-fledged “lawyer.” Sources spoke about at least three flights of Badri to Dubai for lengthy negotiations with Taro. As a result, the parties decided so.
Koguashvili takes upon himself all the issues of approving the “common expenditure” with Shakro. In turn, Taro had to convince his close associate Merab Dzhangveladze of the need for such a step.
As a result, Badri convinced Shakro of the correctness of such a step, and Kalashov’s message came to light about the need for all “thieves in law” to drop their claims against each other without apology.
In turn, Taro convinced Merab of the need for such a step.
And so, Badri was already celebrating his emergence as a “great peacemaker.” Taro has almost sat on the throne of “thief in law No. 1.”
All that remained was to fix the “total expenditure” at the meeting that Taro and Merab organized on March 9 in Istanbul. Everything was going according to plan, until, as Prime Crime reports, thief Tamaz Gogoladze (Chermen) asked Lasha Rustavsky’s opinion about the “total expenses.” It was the personal conflict between Taro and Lasha that escalated into the longest and bloodiest thieves’ war. Grandfather Hassan and his giant clan took Lasha’s side. Taro was supported by Merab and other lawyers.
Oniani said that Shakro had settled all the issues with Lasha. But Chermen logically noted that Shushanashvili is not a “sack of potatoes” for everyone to decide for him and offered to personally dial Lashe, who is in prison, by phone. And Shushanashvili announced that he did not withdraw his signature from the message about the decoronation of Taro and still considers him not a thief. A complete failure of the meeting, Taro and Badri.
