Today's so-called court is another circus performance of a criminal "clan" frightened by the Georgian people and October 4, - the 3rd President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, stated.

According to him, he is being punished for many years because he was fulfilling his constitutional duty.

"I must congratulate Moldova on its victory - it did not repeat our mistake. This is the defeat of Putin and the Dream.

As for today's so-called court, it is another circus performance of a criminal "clan" frightened by the Georgian people and October 4. The thing is that this “trial” was supposed to end in July, but when the call for October 4 was made, it was urgently postponed to the week of October 4, so that your boss could scare the people on the streets. What this means is that if we can arrest Saakashvili, we can arrest everyone.

The initiation of a case against me and my imprisonment, and the torture and poisoning in prison, were intended to finally suppress my comrades and to establish arrests as a norm.

In general, Ivanishvili’s political prisoners are divided into 4 main categories: the first - those arrested by order from Moscow - me, Roma Shamatava, representatives of the special forces and Okruashvili, who now posed no threat to them. Second - political leaders, including myself and Levan Khabeishvili. Third - protest movement activists and "prisoners of conscience". Fourth - those people who did business with Ivanishvili and whom Ivanishvili did not like. They are treated especially harshly - Giorgi Chikvaidze, who was poisoned, Bachiashvili, who was beaten.

I have been sentenced to many years for what was my constitutional duty, to exercise my presidential powers, to represent the country abroad. Listen to Ivanishvili's speech at the UN [Mikheil Kavelashvili]. Three American presidents, 2 vice presidents, 2 secretaries of state, the leaders of France and Germany came here during my time. The expenses for hosting them, like all other expenses, were officially documented and, accordingly, were easily traceable by the oligarch's prosecutor's office.

These official documents were directly linked to the embezzlement article, and this was done by Ivanishvili, who claimed that I had embezzled 19 billion, who took Merabishvili out of his cell at night and offered to release him in exchange for handing over my non-existent foreign account numbers.

What happened was that people began to ask questions in these years about why Saakashvili was actually arrested, and now, after so many other people have been arrested, they finally realized that in this country people are being arrested innocently.

It is also no coincidence that they intend to seize my beloved vineyard and the 70 sq. m. house standing there. Each member of this corrupt gang has toilets the size of this house, which they built with money stolen from Georgians.

Kvareli has great symbolic significance. This vineyard became the center of resistance to the Russian wine embargo, it was in this vineyard that the most important diplomatic negotiations were held. There stood American senators, who called Georgian wine the “drink of freedom,” presidents, prime ministers, ministers, and the Prince of Monaco.

The seizure of this vineyard, as well as all these shameful trials, serves only one purpose - revenge for the fact that I defeated corruption in Georgia, then seriously suppressed the same corruption in Ukraine, and in general, I am considered one of the most successful fighters against corruption and crime in the world,” Mikheil Saakashvili said.
