Russia’s powerful federal Investigative Committee said on December 13 that it possessed evidence “confirming” that Georgian MP Givi Targamadze was conspiring with Russian opposition activists in plotting riots in Moscow.
Givi Targamadze is a lawmaker from President Saakashvili’s United National Movement (UNM) party. He chaired the parliamentary committee for defense and security in the previous Parliament.
A spokesman for Russia’s federal Investigative Committee, Vladimir Markin, said that investigators “possess materials confirming that Givi Targamadze was not only financing the Russian opposition, but also had concrete role in organizing mass disorders” on Moscow’s Bolotnaya Square in May, 2012.
“In this connection, the Investigative Committee has already prepared a request for legal assistance, which will be sent to relevant Georgian authorities via the Russian General Prosecutor’s Office,” Markin said.
