Giorgi Terashvili, along with Onise Tskhadadze, Guram Mirtskhulava, Luka Jabua, Jano Archaia, Ruslan Sivakov, Revaz Kiknadze, Valeri Tetrashvili, Sergei Kukharchuk, and Irakli Kerashvili, were arrested in December 2024 for participating in pro-European demonstrations held in Tbilisi. They are charged under Article 225 of the Criminal Code of Georgia – organizing and participating in group violence, which carries a sentence of 4 to 6 years of imprisonment.

Within 48 hours of their arrest, the court remanded all 11 detainees, including Giorgi Terashvili, into custody as a measure of restraint. The substantive hearing of the case was scheduled to begin in January, but the prosecution requested a two-month extension of the investigation period, arguing that they did not have enough time to gather evidence. The judge granted the request, which became the basis for reviewing the measure of restraint.

According to the lawyers, the prosecution failed to present specific evidence to substantiate the charges and also failed to justify the need for an extension of the investigation, as they did not effectively use the two months already granted to them.
