Levan Khabeishvili, one of the leaders of the United National Movement, suggests that the U.S. is preparing to impose sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili and his inner circle. According to him, Vakhtang Gomelauri, Grigol Liluashvili and Irakli Gharibashvili may be on the list of sanctioned persons.
"I suspect that the United States is preparing to impose sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili and his inner circle, and meanwhile it may include members of the government - Mr. Gomelauri, the Minister of Interior, Mr. Liluashvili, the head of the SSG, Mr. Garibashvili, who signs many documents as the representative of Bidzina Ivanishvili and his Private banker. So it is clear that the West has this information, and if they do not sanction all the government, they will work for specific people who, so to speak, strengthen the regime and the oligarchy," Khabeishvili said.
Opposition groups have stated that the West, will tolerate no direct or indirect complicity in the killing of people."
