Lawyer: Saakashvili’s uncle unable to come to court due to health

Lawyer Beka Basilia says that uncle of former president Mikheil Saakashvili, Temur Alasania, has been unable to come to a court to be interrogated due to health issues. 

 

Basilia claims that Alasania is in a neighboring country in a hospital. 

 

Alasania was summoned for interrogation in a case which dates back to 2012. 

 

The prosecution claims that one million USD was illegally seized from a businessman under the United National Movement government and then the money was laundered. 

 

They say that Alasania was also involved in the alleged ‘fraud and money laundering.’
