During his Sunday sermon on June 8, Giorgi Jamdeliani, Bishop of the Marneuli and Hujabi Eparchy, claimed that a senior government official had plotted to assassinate him.

Jamdeliani identified the alleged conspirator as a current government member and a representative of the security agency. He stated, "If the government does not distance itself from him, then more will become clear to me." The bishop further alleged that a nun from his diocese had been recruited to carry out the assassination, having been instructed for a year to poison his food or apply a toxin to his hand that would cause death within an hour.

He reported that the suspect had been beaten and expelled with his guards, warning that "now, we can expect anything from him, any provocation," and suggested that "some forces are behind him."

Separately, on June 9, Tina Bokuchava, Chairwoman of the opposition United National Movement (UNM) party, alleged that her husband, Kote Ioseliani, had been abducted and coerced into issuing a video apology to Uta Ivanishvili, son of Georgian Dream founder Bidzina Ivanishvili, regarding claims made in 2018 about his sexuality.

Bokuchava explained that five masked men ambushed Ioseliani at night, forced him into a car, blindfolded him, and detained him in an undisclosed location for eight hours. During this time, the assailants threatened his children and pointed out his usual routes, as well as the locations of his 10-year-old son’s school and his 2-year-old twins’ kindergarten. She added that Ioseliani was denied phone access during the ordeal. Bokuchava asserted that these threats compelled her husband to apologize again for his 2018 remarks concerning Uta Ivanishvili’s alleged homosexuality, despite having previously apologized publicly shortly after the original statements.

Addressing her political opponents, including Bidzina Ivanishvili and newly appointed Interior Minister Gela Gelashvili, Bokuchava declared, "I am not afraid. I will not stay silent. And I will fight to dismantle your violent, treacherous regime," emphasizing her resolve in the face of intimidation.
