I appeal to the whole system, in addition to the fact that you are super corrupt, you are an accomplice of my torture, it is a criminal offense under Georgian and international law, - former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili said at the trial.
According to Mikheil Saakashvili, it was worthwhile for him to come to Georgia and sacrifice himself to "completely unmask the inhuman, murderous system."
Saakashvili also touched on the issue of regulating the gambling business.
"Electronic elections should be held in Georgia, a media code should be adopted in Georgia. Now they are trying to kill independent media. Let’s say we all decided together that we don’t want a gambling business, however, this is a bluff. They are the "bosses" of the gambling business and the rest will just go into the shadows. I have seen it in Ukraine and I know what it looks like.
Assuming this gambling business thing is passed, automatically, they must compensate all the independent media losses that they will receive. I am absolutely sure of that. There should be complete decentralization in Georgia, the police should be municipal, for example, Tsalenjikha municipality should have its own sheriff, Batumi should have its own sheriff, and it will not happen when special forces are brought from Ozurgeti to disperse people in Batumi.
There should be a system when there is a stable coalition in power with its guarantees, where no one can lie to anyone and they will control each other. The most important thing is to completely change the judiciary", - Saakashvili said.
For information, the trial of the case of embezzlement of funds, in which the former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili is accused, is being held in the Tbilisi City Court today. Along with Mikheil Saakashvili, former head of the Special State Protection Service Teimuraz Janashia is also accused of embezzling funds. The prosecutor's office accuses the defendants of embezzling a large amount of budget money - GEL 9 million.
