Georgian prosecutors ask Ukraine to arrest, extradite Saakashvili

The Georgian Prosecutor General's Office has urged Ukrainian authorities to cooperate and extradite wanted individuals, in particular, Georgia's ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili, to the republic.

"Since Mikheil Saakashvili and Zurab Adeishvili (Georgia's ex-justice minister) have been indicted in Georgia and declared fugitives, and given that, according to our intelligence, these individuals are currently in Ukraine, the Georgian Prosecutor General's Office has asked the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office to locate, arrest and extradite these individuals," the Georgian Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement released on Tuesday.
