"The regime could not risk arresting Mamuka Khazaradze, Badri Japaridze and Avto Tsereteli with its ridiculous charges" - Mikheil Saakashvili

Georgia's third president Mikheil Saakashvili, responds to Tbilisi City Court ruling on the money laundering case.

"It is very good that the regime did not risk arresting Mamuka Khazaradze, Badri Japaridze and Avto Tsereteli with their ridiculous charges. Of course, they delivered a completely fabricated verdict. As always, I liked how dignified the "accused" held themselves, as well as Vato Tsereteli. They never showed fear or hesitation," Mikhail Saakashvili said in a statement.
