The president of the self-proclaimed republic of South Ossetia, Eduard Kokoity said on Wednesday that “certain people among <NOBR>Georgia’s</NOBR> leadership” were implicated in the 2001 kidnapping of Levan Kaladze — the brother of the A.C. Milan footballer Kakha Kaladze.
The Interfax news agency quoted Kokoity as saying that the South Ossetian Interior Ministry were ready to hand over to their Georgian colleagues information about the kidnapping.
“There is no Ossetian trace in this case, believe me, but there is a trace of certain people among the Georgian leadership who tried to make money out of the famous footballer of whom the whole of Georgia is proud,” Kokoity said.
Levan Kaladze was kidnapped on May 23, 2001 from a hospital in the Georgian capital Tbilisi. Georgian police have still not solved the case.
Kakha Kaladze has won a series of medals at the Italian club since being tranfered from Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev.
