Owner of Georgian broadcaster called country’s ‘propaganda megaphone’ is based in London

Imedi TV owner denies criticism by EU disinformation monitor and says it is editorially independent

On Pont Street in Belgravia in central London, on the first floor of a handsome Edwardian townhouse, sitting above the royal green awning of the Jeroboams wine shop, is an office. There are no obvious signs for it beyond a little note next to the intercom. When buzzed this week, no one appeared at the door.

This is the registered office of Hunnewell Partners, which describes itself as an entrepreneurial private equity and litigation funding practice".
