The prosecutor's office did not give me the opportunity to plead guilty, what should I plead guilty to? I have nothing to plead guilty to, the public statements were mine and nothing more. They are not accusing me of doing anything secretly, or causing harm. What is the difference between us, he perceived it that way, a politician should be in prison because of his perceptions, - said Levan Khabeishvili, the chairman of the political council of the United National Movement.

He exercised his right to the final word.

"Everyone saw that I have been in prison for 9 months, my criminal case lasted 3 hours, I have been in prison for the entire 9 months because my trial lasted 3 hours. There is a prosecutor here and if it was different, he could have corrected me. Administrative disputes sometimes last 3 or 4 hours.

In the end, everyone saw what happened after 9 months. My case will probably be 10 pages long, the last chapter, because they had summoned 3 witnesses, there are no witnesses, they had 3 summoned people, they did not bring two of them. I was in prison for 9 months so that I would not put pressure on them and in the end, they did not bring them.

There is nothing in the case except my public statements, the prosecutor showed us 6 videos, the last chapter was a 10-minute video.

By the way, the fact that the prosecutor did not appear in public during these 9 months and did not make any statements, I think this it is indicative of many things, they talk about all cases publicly, I have not seen a public statement from a respected person to defend his position.

In this case, there is no victim, there is no object, there is no object to whom I would hand over, there is no benefit that I would receive. It turns out that I offered something to someone, the benefit that I would receive does not exist in nature, either material good or well-being.

I was thinking about one thing, the prosecutor's office did not leave me the opportunity, if I wanted to confess my guilt, what should I confess? I have nothing to confess, the public statements were mine and nothing beyond that. They do not accuse me of doing anything secretly, or causing harm. What is the difference between us, he perceived it that way, a politician should be in prison because of perceptions. I will not continue much, I prefer to do it as quickly as possible, from the beginning I asked for speedy justice, and still up to 9 months I am here and I will listen to you," Khabeishvili said.
