Gia Volski: You cannot touch the budget

"In the Western countries, and especially in the United States, people know that you cannot touch the budget, and it is a serious crime, and many people received punishment for such crimes, including our government officials," Gia Volski the first speaker of the Parliament stated.

According to him, Gigi Ugulava's case was not suspended. Officials with similar charges arrested for the same crimes but less money.

"The prosecution would not make compromises because of political issues. The case concerns embezzlement of 50 million. International experience also suggests that compromise on this issue due to political circumstances is not convenient," Volski noted.

U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger commented on Ugulava's arrest.

“Gigi Ugulava, leader of European Georgia, was arrested today and sentenced to 38 months in prison for an old crime he’s already served time over. To say this is disturbing would be an understatement. Using courts as a weapon is NOT democracy,” Kinzinger wrote on his Twitter page. 

The Supreme Court found Gigi Ugulava guilty. The Court sentenced the former Mayor of Tbilisi to three years and two months in prison for embezzling funds.
