The general secretary of the Nationalist Party, Joe Saliba, yesterday sued Gino Cauchi, editor of Super One Television, for libel.

Mr Saliba filed the suit against Mr Cauchi over a news item broadcast on One News last Wednesday in which it was alleged that Mr Saliba had ordered Net Television to give more prominence to a statement issued by Dr Lawrence Gonzi.

Mr Saliba claimed that this was defamatory and called on the court to condemn Mr Cauchi to pay him damages.
