Skilk Group Executive Linked to Former Paramilitary Group?

The newspaper reports that Kazakh side files a suit against the former manager of "BTA Bank", who has stolen several millions of dollars from the bank and hides since that. Businessman with criminal past, known as "Zarala" (Giorgi Ramishvili), has assisted the manager in this situation, the article says. Ramishvili's name is linked to "Silk Road Group", which was founded in 1998. The group includes "SilkNet, Wissol Petroleum Georgia", "Radisson" (Tbilisi and Batumi), "BTA Bank", investment company "DS" (hotel complexes in Ajara and residential complex "Sakanela" in Tbilisi). As the article notes, Ramishvili is a former member of "Mkhedrioni" (paramilitary group in early 1990-is) and under the previous government, he was patronized by Nika Rurua (former minister of Culture and Monument Protection), who was also "Mkhedrioni" member in its time.
