I prefer to leave the relationship between me and the Swiss bank as my personal problem and not bother the public, writes Bidzina Ivanishvili, former Prime Minister of Georgia, founder of the Georgian Dream, in a letter.

“As for my personal problem, which arose in the relationship with the Swiss bank, I believe that it has a direct connection with the ongoing processes in Georgia. However, due to the fact that Georgia has practically overcome the difficult situation and the immediate threat of war has passed, I prefer to leave the relationship between me and the Swiss bank as my personal problem and not bother the public with this problem too much.

It doesn’t matter on what I planned to spend the funds frozen by the Swiss bank - for private purposes or for public needs. I prefer that the society considers the problem created by the bank as my personal problem in all cases. My lawyer made relatively detailed explanations on this case and will do it in the future too.

The most important thing for me is that Georgia can finally get out of the most difficult situation properly and maintain peace. I will take care of my personal issue myself and will not try to overburden the society with this problem”, - reads the letter.
