Former President Mikheil Saakashvili has refused an offer from the Georgian Prosecutor’s Office to give witness testimony via Skype.
Saakashvili was called to come and answer questions about ten criminal cases, with status as witness, but theappointed time – yesterday at 13:00 – came and went without any sign of the ex-president.
Members of parliament Giorgi Baramidze and Davit Darchiashvili from Saakashvili’s party, the National Movement, told DF Watch that their leader said everything he wished to say in a TV interview with Rustavi 2 a few days ago.
Baramidze says he assumes that if the ex-president has any more to say, he will find a way to say it.
The ex-president said from the start that he didn’t plan to come to Georgia for questioning. He thinks the idea to question him is a plan concocted by Russian President Vladimir Putin and carried out by Putin’s agents in Georgia – the current government, DFWATCH informs.
