The Marsascala local council yesterday filed a suit against the editor of In-Nazzjon, John Zammit, claiming that the content of an editorial was libellous and defamatory.
In the libel suit, filed in the Magistrates' Court, the council objected to the editorial entitled Anqas muntanji ta' skart u anqas irwejjah f'Wied il-Ghajn (Less mountains of waste and less odours in Marsascala) published last Saturday.
Dr Michael Sciriha and Dr Joanne Vella Cuschieri signed the suit.
