On 21 May 2020, Basilashvili was arrested on a charge of physically assaulting ex-wife Neka Dorokashvili in front of their son.[7] Dorokashvili elaborated at a later point, alleging that Basilashvili "declared her as a subordinate" and treated her in a derogatory way.[8] Tbilisi court released Basilashvili on a bail of 100,000 Georgian Lari (around US$36,300) after his first arrest, however he since attended a trial hearing remotely.[9] His legal team denied the charges, stating that they were "false and completely unsubstantiated".[10] Basilashvili was cleared of charges after court judge questioned why Dorokashvili did not come forward earlier[11] and stated that all claims were either debunked or had no substantial evidence of having happened.[12]
