Georgian police detained a further nine former state officials on November 15, widening an investigation which the opposition says is a politically motivated persecution by the new government headed by Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili. The nine, all Interior Ministry officials who worked under President Mikheil Saakashvili, were charged with abuse of power. Similar allegations were brought against the former interior minister and two military commanders arrested last week. (Reuters video)
