GD Chair: Ex-president's mentioning among political prisoners speaks of corruption in EP

Ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili’s mentioning among political prisoners indicates corruption problems in the European Parliament, said Irakli Kobakhidze, Chairman of the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party.

Kobakhidze said the fact was unacceptable since the former president was convicted of grave crimes.

“Mentioning him among the political prisoners speaks of the corruption problems that, unfortunately, are present in the European Parliament today. I hope that the European Parliament will overcome such problems shortly,” said the GD Chair.
