Jailed ex-President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili’s Ukrainian lawyer, Vadim Zavoritni, on Thursday said, Saakashvili should be temporarily transferred to Ukraine for interrogation in the 2018 case.

Zavoritni said that the Ukrainian court instructed the country’s Justice Ministry to request to the Georgian side for the interim transfer.

“There is a mechanism in place that allows an inmate transfer from one place to another. No one is suggesting that Saakashvili be relocated indefinitely,” the lawyer explained.
