The Director General Vincent Farrugia has instituted complaints for the initiation of criminal proceedings to be taken against the Editor of the daily newspaper “l-Orizzont” in relation to two separate articles, the contents of which constitute blatant libel due to their false contents and deceitful and dishonest accusations together with other very grave insinuations.
The articles in question appeared on the said journal on the 12th July 2011entitled “Frame-up Pulit?” as well as on the 28th July 2011 which article was entitled “Qrib Stat Pulizjesk?”.
The Director General is seeking further legal advise in relation to additional actions for libel regarding a spate of unfounded allegations that appeared in select parts of the media over the past days, particularly in relation to the operation of Green MT, GRTU’s subsidiary, which allegations have proven to be entirely unsubstantiated and consequently speculative by the Approving Body and the Competent Authority.
