The State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG) said the recent temporary suspension of Imedi TV’s broadcasting was caused by a “technical malfunction” in the station’s internal electrical equipment, determining that no criminal act had occurred. The SSSG had been investigating the 45-minute interruption of the pro-government channel’s broadcast on October 13 under a “sabotage” probe.
