My payroll card has been blocked, - Levan Murusidze, a judge of the Court of Appeal and a member of the High Council of Justice, said about his sanctioning by the UK.

According to him, he does not intend to go to the UK.

"I told you, this payroll card has been blocked... My salary has been blocked, of course. [When was it blocked]? Why does it matter. To tell you the truth, I am not going to go to the UK... I will go to my village, Sori," - Murusidze said in a telephone conversation with TV Pirveli.

In addition, Murusidze said that "it would be fatal" if the Baltic countries also impose sanctions.

“The main killer is if the Baltic countries also impose financial sanctions on me, it will probably ultimately ruin me,” Murusidze noted.

When asked about France, the judge said: “I respect France, its culture, among other things. I really like French writers.”
