“After Mikheil Saakashvili was placed in the institution No. 18, he insulted the staff of the penitentiary institution physically and verbally, and also damaged expensive medical equipment,” RIA Novosti quotes the agency as saying.
On this fact, the General Inspectorate launched an investigation, the ministry said.
Earlier, Saakashvili's mother Giuli Alasania said that the ex-president was taken out of the prison by helicopter in an unknown direction.
After that, the Special Penitentiary Service announced that he was transferred to the prison hospital.
