David Sakvarelidze is one of the most successful prosecutors in Georgia. He gained fame thanks to his rapid career advancement. Since the fall of 2015, he has been actively involved in political activities in Ukraine.
Young years
Sakvarelidze David Georgievich was born on September 15, 1981 in Tbilisi. Shortly after his birth, his father left the family. The mother raised the boy. She had to work a lot in order to provide the family with everything necessary.
However, even without a father, David Sakvarelidze grew up as a real Georgian man. In one of his interviews, he said: "Mom raised me strong and uncompromising - now I can protect what is dear to me."
Education
David Georgievich graduated from a school in one of the military towns near Tbilisi. Initially, the mother wanted her son to go to medicine. It was a family tradition that dates back to my great-grandfather. But David Sakvarelidze himself decided otherwise, and his family had no choice but to reconcile with his choice.
In 1999, the young man entered Tbilisi State University. He chose the faculty of law as the main direction. And it should be noted that the right was given to him very well. Soon, David earned the fame of one of the best students at the university, which allowed him to go to study in America.
From 2001 to 2002, he studied political science at American University of St. Bonaventure. Upon returning home, he successfully graduated from higher education. In 2004, he won a study grant at the Japanese University of Takura. And exactly one year later he became one of the most educated lawyers in Georgia.
Career in Georgia
So, what is remarkable about the career that David Sakvarelidze made? The biography of a young Georgian tells that he began to work while still at the university. In 2003, he got a place as a legal consultant in the expert department of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia. This was a good position, especially for a student.
Soon after, he was appointed to a special commission dealing with legal reforms in the country. Here David Sakvarelidze manages to prove himself. The management sees in it a great potential, which needs only to be directed in the right direction. Therefore, in 2004, he got a responsible position - the position of the chief legal adviser to the presidential administration of Georgia. In 2005, David Sakvarelidze became the head of the law enforcement inspection in the main administration of Tbilisi.
In the summer of 2007, a young Georgian entered a new stage in his life. From this moment he begins to work in the prosecutor's office of Georgia. His first position was the seat of the regional prosecutor in Shida Kartli. And a year later, David Georgievich became the first deputy prosecutor general.
It should be noted that due to the efforts of Sakvarelidze, a number of legal reforms took place in the country. For example, the jury system is considered the most famous of them. Also, the young lawyer repeatedly defended the rights of the ex-president of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili in court.
Activities in Ukraine
In February 2015, David Sakvarelidze, along with Mikhail Saakashvili, arrived in Ukraine at the special invitation of President Petro Poroshenko. The head of the new Ukrainian government offered the young lawyer the position of deputy chief prosecutor of the country. To which he answered satisfactorily. In the same month, David Sakvarelidze received citizenship of Ukraine.
At his post, he was responsible for introducing legal reforms that could help with European integration. In addition, the deputy prosecutor worked to eliminate corruption schemes in government bodies. Because of this, he repeatedly fell into the whirlpool of scandals and intrigues, which hit him hard.
In March 2016, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine dismissed a Georgian from his post, after which he himself resigned. He argued his decision by the fact that David Sakvarelidze repeatedly violated legal etiquette and discipline. However, for most residents of the country, this resignation was just another reason for distrust of the authorities.
On March 30, the new Prosecutor General of Ukraine summoned David Georgievich for interrogation. This time, they wanted to accuse the lawyer of having been involved in the disappearance of $ 2 million. But without substantial evidence, the case was closed at the initial stage of the investigation.
