Finally, an alleged answer to an alleged crime


After three days, Georgia news outlets finally spell out the contents of a video labeled “encroachment of the personal privacy” of MP Ekaterina Beseliya.


Here is what the news people had not said: “alleged sex tape leak.” The statement begs the questions: (1) Was the tape allegedly leaked; or (2) was the leaked tape about alleged sex?

Whichever, the Interior Ministry arrested/detained/apprehended 16 people for “circulating the video recording through social networks and mobile phone applications.” Previously, civil.ge had the number arrested at 17.

The tape leaking is part of ongoing political in-fighting in the Caucasus nation, related to what civil.ge called “the 2016 sex tapes scandals” and is related to appointment of Supreme Court Justices, MP Beseliya has said.


Well. Alleged sex scandals, supreme court appointments and politics. Who would have figured?
