The court confirmed that the funds were directly spent on Saakashvili's Botox, his weight loss, and his hair care - I would assess this case as "eating the people's money," said Levan Makhashvili, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on European Integration.

According to him, the person who came to power under the banner of defeating corruption ended up "eating the people's money."

"If you listen to the opposition, everything, according to their assessment, is political persecution, but the fact is that today, once again, the court confirmed that the person who came to power under the banner of defeating corruption ended up eating the people's money. What we saw was the embezzlement of 9 million, the eating of the people's money. That's it. The fact is, the court confirmed that 9 million was embezzled on matters that had nothing to do with his representation, nor with the exercise of state authority. The funds were directly spent on his Botox, his weight loss, and his hair care. The public saw this well, as the trials were public, and we saw the details. I would assess this case as eating the people's money," said Makhashvili.

For reference, the court sentenced Mikheil Saakashvili to 9 years in prison for embezzlement of large amounts of budgetary funds, while Teimuraz Janashia was fined 300,000GEL.
