The Russia-controlled border guards have detained a 94-year-old Georgian citizen Gora Garibashvili in the village of Sakorintlo, located in the Kaspi municipality, on the Tbilisi-administered territory.
Locals say that they have seen today how the armed people attacked the old man and kidnapped him.
It is for the second time Garibashvili was abducted by occupants, locals say.
The family has not been contacted yet over the paying of a fine set for the "illegal crossing of border” by the de facto leadership of Tskhinvali.
The fine amounts to about 30-32 USD.
The Russia-controlled so-called border guards abduct Georgian citizens quite often and in most cases release them after paying the fine.
