Irakli Okruashvili addressed the judge

Irakli Okruashvili, the former Minister of Defense, calls on the Court not to waste time and resources on interrogating unimportant witnesses, as he is accused of other crimes as well and should be attending those hearings. At the moment, the judge is considering a June 20 case, with the state prosecution questioning up to 400 witnesses.

"I live at the expense of the state. Think of the state and your resources being spent," Okruashvili said.
