FRANCE-GEORGIA-COURT-POLITICS-CORRUPTION

Georgian former defence minister Davit Kezerashvili arrives on December 5, 2013 at Aix-en-Provence courthouse where an appeals court is to rule on his request that he be released pending a decision on an extradition to Georgia, where he is wanted on corruption charges. A French court rejected on October 31 his plea to be set free but did not rule on his extradition to his homeland, where he is wanted on corruption charges. Kezerashvili, a close ally of outgoing president Mikheil Saakashvili, was detained on October 14 at Nice airport following an international arrest warrant. Kezerashvili, who also headed the financial police, was charged in January with taking a bribe of $12 million (nine million euros) to facilitate alcohol smuggling in the ex-Soviet nation.
