British experts will investigate into Badri Patarkatsishvili's death

The cause of a sudden death of the richest person in Georgia, former presidential candidate Badri Patarkatsishvili will be established by British experts. Rati Shartava, press secretary of his election office, has made a statement on this topic.

"Patarkatsishvili has failed to withstand the false accusations put forward against him recently. The state machinery was fighting against him, and his heart broke down," Rati Shartava said and added that Patarkatsishvili's election office will soon disseminate special video materials, the "Interfax" informs.

According to the police press service of the British county of Surrey all unexpected death cases are regarded as suspicious, the AFP informs.

The police have already appointed the date of autopsy - it will be held today. This fact is confirmed by the British Times Online.

However, according to Reuters, the British police know nothing about Patarkatsishvili's death.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported earlier that Badri Patarkatsishvili died suddenly in his house in London. According to preliminary information, the death was caused by heart attack.
