Will "Georgian Dream" put Gakharia in jail?

The case against Georgia's ex-Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia will be initiated only if there is evidence of guilt, one of the leaders of the ruling Georgian Dream party Mamuka Mdinaradze said.

"When he demanded to postpone the arrest of Melia for two or three days, when there was information about the opposition's plans for these days. It gave rise to suspicions, but the investigation can be considered if there are concrete facts," Sputnik-Georgia cited Mdinaradze as saying.

The possible prosecution of the ex-Prime Minister of Georgia was discussed after the leaders of the ruling party accused Gakharia of an operation to suppress the storming of the parliament building on the night of June 21, 2019. Prior to this, the Georgian Dream accused the former head of government of treason.
