The Shame Movement appeals to Georgia's strategic partners to impose sanctions on Bidzina Ivanishvili.
According to them, “the new audio recording of a conversation between Ivanishvili and sanctioned Russian oligarch Vladimir Evtushenkov once again confirms that Georgia's informal ruler, Bidzina Ivanishvili, is a Kremlin's advocate and helps Russian businessmen sanctioned by strategic partners avoid sanctions.”
“The recording, dated March 10 and 12, 2022, is made at a time when Russian occupiers were killing innocent people in Ukraine, raping women and children, burning their homes and bombing hospitals.
Bidzina Ivanishvili, on the instructions of Russia, overthrew Georgian democracy and returned the country to the Russian foreign vector for 9 years.
"We appeal to Georgia's strategic partners, the leadership of the European Union and the United States, to impose sanctions on Russian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, who has turned Georgia into a black hole for sanctioned Russian capital," the statement said.
Audio recordings are circulating on the Internet, where a conversation is allegedly between Bidzina Ivanishvili and the Russian sanctioned oligarch, Vladimir Evtushenkov.
In the recording, Evtushenkov allegedly asks Ivanishvili to circumvent the sanctions if he so wishes. Names and surnames are heard - including the visit of Vice President Ali Uzdenov to Georgia in the company of a sanctioned Russian oligarch.
In the recording, Ivanishvili allegedly tells Yevtushenko that the situation is not favorable at all, “but we need to strengthen.” In response, Yevtushenko allegedly says he has an idea and that “David will bring it.”
