Former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili made some strong statements during a court hearing about a large-scale embezzlement case.
Saakashvili said that the reason for the case was not because he did something wrong, but because he was a thorn in the side of Bidzina Ivanishvili, a Georgian businessman. Saakashvili became the Chairman of the Advisory Council to the President of Ukraine in 2014. A few days later, this embezzlement case was opened.
Saakashvili also pointed out that he became the governor of Odessa, Ukraine’s largest region, in 2015. He said that Russia tried to conquer Odessa at that time and Saakashvili was in their way. The judge then issued an order to arrest him, just a few days after he became governor.
Saakashvili claimed that the current government is spending four times more than his government did when he was in power. He said that this excess spending includes money for banquets, orgies, and unnecessary items. He also mentioned that Donald Trump, the U.S. President, called him an “anti-corruption fighter and a reformer.”
