The Georgian boxer Avtandil Khurtsidze is put in custody for two months by the US court. The American media released this information and the Facebook page of the boxer confirmed the decision of the court.

The Georgian sportsmen Khurtsidze and Levan Makashvili were among 30 detainees in America. According to the prosecutor, Avtandil was cooperating with the Georgian-Russian criminal group. According to Boxingscene, Khurtsidze was caught on video punching a confidential source.

The Georgian was not released on bail for 200 000 USD because he is considered as a danger to the public. A defense lawyer called the charges unsubstantiated allegations.
