Former Georgian Prime Minister Gharibashvili defends record in letter from prison

Former Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili has released a letter from prison defending his political record while questioning the performance of his successor, Irakli Kobakhidze.

Gharibashvili, who is serving a prison sentence following a high-profile money laundering conviction, touted his achievements in office and asked the public if the country had worsened since his departure. The message marks the latest in a month-long series of prison communications in which the former prime minister has openly criticized his former colleagues in the ruling Georgian Dream party.
