Media: Saakashvili may be deported to the Netherlands
Mikheil Saakashvili, former president of Georgia and leader of the Movement of New Forces party, may be deported to the Netherlands, reported RBC-Ukraine, citing several informed sources.
“There are three options - Georgia, Poland and the Netherlands,” said an independent source that is close to the ex-president.
The Netherlands is being considered because Saakashvili’s wife is a citizen of the country. Poland is a possibility because the politician entered Ukraine from that country, and in Georgia is under consideration because a criminal investigation is being conducted there in connection with Saakashvili.
A source of the news agency in the Verkhovna Rada thinks that Saakashvili will be deported to the Netherlands.
“Saakashvili may be deported to Holland. He won’t be sent to Georgia. Poland, as the country he left to go to Ukraine, is opposed to him being deported. So they decided that they would deport him to a country where he has relatives,” the agency’s source stated.
Earlier Saakashvili said that the State Migration Service extended his stay in Ukraine until March 1, 2018.
The day before Saakashvili said that he was going to be arrested, supposedly by order of the president.
