Police Commissioner John Rizzo yesterday filed a suit in the Magistrates' Court claiming that an article that appeared on It-Torca was libellous and defamatory.

Mr Rizzo filed the suit against newspaper editor Alfred Briffa and journalist John Pisani. The case is over a story entitled Tkeccijiet u rizenji mill-korp... imma kulhadd l-istess? (Dismissals and resignations from the corps... but is everyone equal?), published on May 8.

Dr Joseph Giglio filed the application on behalf of Mr Rizzo.
