Georgian Justice Minister Ms. Tea Tsulukiani has commented on the questioning of ex-Prime and Interior Minister Ivane Merabishvili regarding allegations over using a fake passport and attempting to cross the state border.
Ms. Tea Tsulukiani said it was a right decision not to detain Ivane Merabishvili, because he was accompanying the president and commander-in-chief of Georgia.
The minister is convinced the investigation will ascertain the truth.
"Ivane Merabishvili was not detained in the airport and was not even kept long because he was accompanying the president and commander-in-chief of our country. Whether it was or not a method for Merabishvili to cross the border more easily, you should ask him. As I know, law-enforcers at the interior ministry got interested in this issue. But the fact is that the interior ministry made the only correct decision not to detain the former prime and interior minister for the simple reason that he was accompanying the president of our country", she said.
Ex-Prime Minister of Georgia Ivane Merabishvili was questioned today at the interior ministry regarding allegations over using fake passport and attempting to cross the state border.
