According to the head of the Special Investigation Service, Koka Katsitadze, the answers to the separate examination on the case of possible inhumane treatment of Mikheil Saakashvili are already known, and at this stage, no one has been found guilty.
Katsitadze spoke about this in an interview with IPN.
According to Katsitadze, on the initiative of the lawyers, several additional examinations have been appointed and the investigation is ongoing.
"They demanded to conduct a commission forensic medical examination regarding how adequately, correctly, and qualifiedly his treatment was carried out in the 12th and 18th penitentiary institution and in the military hospital of Gori. We have met this request and these examinations have been scheduled today. Of course, the results of the examination will be very important.
According to the results of the examination, which are known at this stage, nobody's guilt has been revealed, and the actual circumstances of the case are being studied. In order to create a complete picture, it is very important for us to receive the answers to the appointed examinations", said Koka Katsitadze.
A trial is underway in Ukraine, where Saakashvili is to be questioned as a witness. The case concerns the possible inhumane treatment of him.
People's Power party once again addresses Kelly Degnan
The "People's Power" movement published another statement where MPs addressed the American ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan again.
They said that they have addressed questions to the ambassador, but she does not address the issues they have raised.
"Our movement called on the American ambassador to make public the information about the American financing in Georgia. However, Mrs. Degnan did not break the tradition in this case either and answered our call with silence. However, recently, in the background of leaving our questions unanswered, she once again stated that America has generously helped Georgia over the past years.
The party stated that during the last 20 years, America received no less financial benefits from Georgia than Georgia received from America.
Unfortunately, we did not get an answer to the question of how much of the 3.5 billion spent actually remained in Georgia and how much returned to America, for example, in the form of thousands of salaries received by their own American employees or large sums of money received by American companies for services.
We didn't even get an answer to the question why twice more money was spent on Georgia under Saakashvili's authoritarian regime than after 2012", read the statement of the People's Power" party reads.
