STATEMENT OF THE PROSECUTION SERVICE OF GEORGIA

Considering the public interest, we would like to remind the society that courts of three instances found Mikheil Saakashvili guilty in Sandro Girgvliani’s [murder] case and the case of battery of Valeri Gelashvili and sentenced him to imprisonment for a term of six years. The court decisions on these cases are final and are not subject to appeal.

Apart from this, Mikhel Saakashvili was indicted in the cases of the raid of TV Imedi and the demonstration of November 7, the misappropriation of the property of the Patarkatsishvili family, and the embezzlement of GEL 9,024,367 owned by the Special State Protection Service for his personal purposes. Tbilisi City Court is examining these cases.

…

It is noteworthy that in order to assess the evidentiary standard in the cases against Mikheil Saakashvili, the Prosecution Service of Georgia invited highly qualified international experts: Paul Coffey, Former Head of the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the DOJ of the US; Moshe Lador, former State Prosecutor of Israel; and Sir Geoffrey Nice, Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. According to the assessment of the international experts, the evidence in the criminal cases created a sufficient standard for initiating criminal prosecution against Mikheil Saakashvili.

Another sham trial?! Wouldn’t doubt that the US would stab their own operative (leader of the Rose Revolution and former Govenor of Odesa, Ukraine) in the back!
