TBILISI, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Former Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili will serve a five-year prison sentence, prosecutors said on Monday, after he agreed to plea guilty to charges of large-scale money laundering.
Garibashvili, who served as prime minister from 2021 to 2024 and previously from 2013 to 2015, had been a longtime loyalist of Bidzina Ivanishvili, the billionaire ex-prime minister widely regarded as Georgia's de facto ruler.
