Ucha Mamatsashvili’s lawyer releases statement

The lawyer of businessman Ucha Mamatsashvili, Amiran Giguashvili, released a statement.

"As it became known to the public, information was spread that by the decree of the President of Ukraine, Mr. Ucha Mamatsashvili and his family member, son Tate Mamatsashvili, are on the list of sanctioned persons along with other persons. In order to avoid the interpretation of the mentioned issue by different media outlets, we would like to state the following: the said decision of the highest authority of Ukraine is devoid of any factual and legal argumentation and represents only political speculation.

There is no evidence that Mr. Ucha Mamatsashvili or any of his family members could be related to any activity, which would be the basis for making such a decision against them. Accordingly, we ask the media to be guided by this statement when disseminating information", reads the statement.
