In 2001, Kacha's brother Lewan was kidnapped and demanded a ransom of € 600,000. According to media reports, the ransom demanded by the kidnappers had been paid by the family, after which he was considered missing. On May 6, 2005, Georgian police discovered eight bodies in the Svaneti region . In February 2006 one of them could be identified as Levan Kaladze.

A court in Tbilisi sentenced the main perpetrator, Dawit Assatiani, to 25 years in prison in March 2007. He fled to the West after the crime, but was caught in Switzerland and was extradited to Georgia in November 2006. A second defendant got away with five years in prison, among other things because he had incriminated his accomplices with an extensive confession. Two other kidnappers are serving prison terms in France and Russia.
