First Deputy Interior Minister Kakha Sabanadze has resigned. Sabanadze wrote about it in the social network. Sabanadze cites media reports as the reason for his resignation. According to him, a thorough and objective investigation should be conducted on the case.
"I want to respond to the recent media reports and emphasize that I have served the state for many years and adhered to the law, the strict observance of which was, is and will be my priority. I believe that the above facts need to be investigated, so a thorough and objective investigation must be conducted to determine the truth. In view of the above, to ensure the credibility of the investigation process, I am resigning!
I think this will set a precedent for all officials to act with a high degree of responsibility when issues arise objectively in the community. I want to thank all the decent police officers I have worked with over the years. There are heroes working in the system, on whose shoulders stands the safety of our country. I want to wish them success in serving their homeland,"- Sabanadze wrote.
