Less than a month after leaving office...former interior and defense minister Bacho Akhalaia has been arrested for abuse of power...along with 2 others.
Akhalaia is a close ally of President Saakashvili.
He claims that the allegations of physical and verbal abuse in 2011 are a witch hunt by the new government.
He faces up to 8 years if charged and convicted.
He was forced to quit after an October video exposed a shocking prisoner abuse scandal.
