Mikheil Saakashvili interrogated over the Maidan murders case
Former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili has been questioned over the case of Maidan murders that occurred in 2014. He posted this information on his Facebook page.
According to him the interrogation lasted for two hours.
‘I was questioned for two hours concerning the ‘facts’ presented in an Italian TV channel’s program belonging to Putin’s friend Berlusconi claiming I ordered the ‘Georgian snipers’ to kill people. I would like to remark that the investigators were professionals and acted friendly but from my point of view the entire system works in vain. The two main cases of the epoch – poisoning of Victor Yushchenko and Maidan murders still remain uninvestigated,’ he has remarked.
According to him two questioning are still ahead. (IPN)
