Georgia’s Prosecution Service opened a probe into fraud allegations in the country’s parliamentary elections and said it plans to question President Salome Zourabichvili about her claims that the results were rigged.
Zourabichvili “has been summoned to the investigative agency for an interview” on Thursday, the service said in a statement. The president “is believed to possess evidence regarding possible falsification” of the vote, following her comments about the polling, it said.
