Elene Khoshtaria, the Droa party's leader, demands that the State Security Service chief, Grigol Liluashvili, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Vakhtang Gomelauri, and Security Service employee Koba Kobidze each face personal sanctions.
“Grigol Liluashvili - he was a very important figure in Bidzina Ivanishvili's personal affairs, and the Security Service that he heads today is not the security service of the country, but of Bidzina Ivanishvili's oligarchic rule. In addition to blackmail, political persecution, etc., we also have information that he was involved in the case of a ship with sanctioned cargo, which, of course, needs to be studied and further clarified. I won't say anything more on dirty blackmails about the personal life which characterizes the SSG system, the surveillance, including the surveillance of diplomats.
Koba Kobidze - he is the head of the so-called Oto. He is directly involved in wiretapping, blackmailing, etc.
Vakhtang Gomelauri - he is also part of the personal entourage of Bidzina Ivanishvili, he is his personal bodyguard, who was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia. Instead of serving the country, he specifically serves the interests of Bidzina Ivanishvili.
Of course, it's our partner's business as to when the sanctions will be, and what they will be, we are not going to speculate on it.
At the same time, we should understand that one of the powerful weapons of de-oligarchization is to evade the sanctions on the country. At the same time, we should evade the country the status of the one which participates in the bloody campaign in Ukraine, and let's hold accountable those particular members of the oligarchic government, along with Bidzina Ivanishvili, who put the country in this situation,” said Elene Khoshtaria.
