Yesterday, the spouse of a leader from one of the opposition parties unexpectedly posted a video on social media, apologizing for a comment he made about the sexual otientation or Ivanishvili’s son seven years ago. Today, his wife revealed that he had been kidnapped the day before

What Ioseliani said in the video:

> I’m recording this video to apologize for a statement I made several years ago regarding Uta Ivanishvili. Over the years, I’ve frequently come across Facebook posts discussing this issue. I sincerely apologize to Uta for it, because what I said was a lie, and I have never heard anything about his orientation. The only thing I know is that he is always spoken of positively, he’s a decent person, and people speak highly of his manliness. What I said was false, and it’s never too late to apologize. Certain circumstances arose that forced me to say it in that way. I truly regret it and once again want to offer my sincere apology to Uta Ivanishvili
