The Georgian Dream party issued the statement after media reports suggested that former Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili had been hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Two medical sources confirmed to JAMnews that Garibashvili is indeed receiving treatment at a Tbilisi hospital.
The reports were first circulated on December 10 by opposition TV Mtavari, which claimed Garibashvili had been physically assaulted by members of his own political team. No specific individuals were named in the allegations.
