According to the "Security Service" of so-called South Ossetia, Chkhikvadze "made an attempt to smuggle drugs into the territory of the republic."
“On December 10, 2021, Georgian citizen Mamuka Chkhikvadze, born in 1981, was detained on charges of violating the state border of the Republic of South Ossetia. During a personal search, more than 4 grams of the marijuana drug was found.
