Exclusive: Footage of Robbery Where Main Suspect Is Seen - How Much Cryptocurrency Was Stolen from the Exchange Office?

Exclusive footage, obtained by "Kurieri," shows a robbery at a cryptocurrency exchange office. The half-minute footage reveals details of the October 30th robbery.

Surveillance camera footage shows that at 17:36, several men entered an office located on Chavchavadze Street. According to "Kurieri," one of them was Dato Feikrishvili, a member of the Feikrishvili brothers. He was wearing a white t-shirt and a cap. In the exclusive footage, it is seen that he gives instructions to his accomplices on how to act. In the corner of the room, a young man is seen trying to remove the company's servers. According to "Kurieri," these servers were used to steal several million dollars in cryptocurrency. Up to $900,000 was also stolen.

The names of Dato Feikrishvili and his brother have appeared in numerous criminal cases. They have been arrested several times. In 2016, they were arrested for illegal possession and carrying of weapons; previously, the Feikrishvili twins were linked to the murder of Soso Jokhadze. In 2020, an attempt was made to bomb the brothers, but the state security service thwarted the crime before it was completed and arrested 7 individuals.

On October 30th, Dato Feikrishvili was charged in absentia and is being sought by the police. Surveillance camera footage shows that the group, allegedly led by Dato Feikrishvili, was well-prepared. They had earpieces and were monitoring the external area. According to reports, cars were waiting for them on the street as they exited the office.

Dato Feikrishvili's lawyer denies his client's involvement in the crime. Giorgi Antadze states that the exclusive footage obtained by "Kurieri" is not sufficient evidence to prove that Feikrishvili committed the robbery and was a participant.

The surveillance camera footage contradicts this. In several segments, it is seen that Dato Feikrishvili, supposedly, has a weapon tucked into his waistband. At that time, office employees and clients were present in the room, and their movement was restricted.

How the criminals managed to enter the office despite the reinforced security system will be detailed by "Kurieri" today with comments from a lawyer from "Tonvex." According to Mikhail Meskhia, the men introduced themselves as colleagues to the office employees and tricked them into opening the door.

At this stage, 2 individuals have been arrested in connection with the robbery at 37 Chavchavadze Street, and Dato Feikrishvili has been charged in absentia. Four other individuals have also been charged in absentia. An official statement regarding the investigative actions was made at the Prosecutor General's Office by the end of the day.

The investigation into the crime at the cryptocurrency exchange office is proceeding under the article of group robbery. The penalty for this crime ranges from 8 to 12 years of imprisonment.
