An investigation into the planning of the assassination of former Prime Minister Ivanishvili has been launched

Georgian the security service announced that it had launched an investigation into planning a murder former prime minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, who is now the honorary president of the ruling Georgian Dream party.

Ivanishvili is the richest citizen of Georgia, is the founder of the Georgian Dream party and served as Prime Minister from October 2012 to November 2013.

The 20-year-old Ivanishvili strongly supported Georgia's "foreign agents" law, the provisions of which stipulate that organizations that receive more than XNUMX percent of their budget from abroad must be registered as "agents of foreign influence."

That law caused several days of street protests in Tbilisi, according to Reuters.

Georgian media claim that six people were summoned for questioning and that most of them fought in Ukraine against Russia.

The leader of the opposition United National Movement, Tinatin Bokučava, assessed that the claims of a coup d'état represent a "constant theory of a coup d'état" before the parliamentary elections scheduled for October.

It is proof of Russian-style propaganda, which our Western partners call a hybrid war, whose goal is to mislead the public and keep the Georgian Dream in power, Tinatin Bokuchava said.
