Police have arrested one more individual in connection with the illegal crossing of the national border by former President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili.
The suspect, Giorgi Narimanidze (born in 1989), is accused of concealment of a crime.
The crime is punishable by up to four years in prison.
Local media outlets report that Narimanidze is a driver of the truck in which Saakashvili was hidden while arriving from Poti to Tbilisi.
Three other individuals have been already arrested in connection with the same criminal case.
Omar and Shalva Tsotsoria, who were arrested for transporting Saakashvili to Georgia’s western region of Samegrelo after illegally crossing into Georgia, were denied bail on October 5 by Tbilisi City Court.
Tbilisi City Court also denied bail to Elguja Tsomaia, the owner of the flat where Saakashvili himself was arrested.
Mikheil Saakashvili, who is a citizen of Ukraine, was arrested in Tbilisi on October 1.
Saakashvili, who served as Georgia’s president in 2003-2013, is charged with several criminal offenses, including the violent dispersal of anti-government protests on November 7, 2007, raiding TV channel Imedi by riot police, and the illegal seizure of property.
