Saakashvili sentenced to 9 years in prison for state embezzlement
Former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili was sentenced to 9 years in prison for state embezzlement. He was accused of spending millions of dollars allocated to state security services for personal purposes from 2009 to 2012. The funds were spent on purchasing clothing, paying for his son's education, car rentals, cosmetic procedures, and creating a painting supposedly made with his chest. These actions were classified as misappropriation of public funds.
The verdict caused wide resonance in political circles and among the citizens of Georgia. Saakashvili, for his part, denied all accusations and continues to claim that the trial was politically motivated. This case has become one of the most discussed in the country, considering his previous actions as president and his active political career.
