Abkhazia Detains Georgian Wanted by Russia

De facto authorities in occupied Abkhazia detained Georgian citizen Vladimir Shulaia, wanted by Russia for committing a murder in 2002, local news outlet Apsnypress reported July 28.

Abkhazia’s de facto security service said Shulaia “was staying in Abkhazia illegally” and was “part of a criminal group operating in Georgia and Russia.”

Shulaia, 47, was handed over to Russia for “further operational and investigative actions,” the de facto authorities said.
