Georgian opposition leader Gigi Ugulava was sentenced to three years and two months in jail on Monday (February 10) on charges of misusing public funds.

Gigi Ugulava, leader of the European Georgia party, has been taken to so-called Matrosov Prison, lawyer Beka Basilaia said.

The Supreme Court of Georgia found Gigi Ugulava guilty of misspending 48 million GEL (nearly 13 million GBP) of public money from the Tbilisi Development Fund, while serving as the mayor of Tbilisi, Georgia's capital city.

Footage recorded on Tuesday (February 11) shows Ugulava talking to press and being greeted with applause by supporters.
