Two of the four Georgian photojournalists charged with espionage have been shown on television confessing to supplying a colleague with
secret information on the country's president which was sent to the Russian secret service, The News Tribune reports. One of the four
photojournalists has been released from custody.
The four were arrested on Thursday and formally charged early Saturday. Georgian police spokesman Georgi Bukhrashvili told reporters that
investigators believe European Pressphoto Agency photographer Zurab Kurtsikidze had "connections" with Russia's military intelligence unit, GRU.
Presidential photographer Irakli Gedenidze and his wife were shown on Georgian television. They confessed they had supplied the EPA photographer with secret information on the president's schedule, motorcade routes and his administration building.
