What Irakli Garibashvili published is complete nonsense - press office of Mamuka Mdinaradze

18-08-2026 21:09

The press office of Mamuka Mdinaradze, Vice Prime Minister/State Minister for Regional Policy Issues, dismissed a letter published by former Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili as "complete nonsense".

"What Irakli Garibashvili published is complete nonsense; it was ruled out by the content of the letter circulated yesterday itself", - the press office said to Rustavi 2.

Irakli Garibashvili published today a letter saying he had not committed a crime and had gone to prison because he did not want to harm the interests of the state and his political team.
