(civil.ge) - The Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) said on November 30 it has arrested a Georgian citizen suspected of cooperation with the special services of the Russian Federation and unrecognized South Ossetian authorities.
According to the Interior Ministry, Kakha Bagauri, 29, was providing information about the location of strategic Georgian facilities to Russian special service operatives in South Ossetia for carrying out acts of sabotage there.
