The prosecution yesterday declared it had no more evidence to present in the compilation of evidence against a private investigator charged with compiling a false report alleging irregularities in the allocation of the Mater Dei Hospital tender.

Police Inspector Ian Abdilla informed Magistrate Giovanni Grixti the prosecution rested its case against Joseph Zahra, 50, of Marsascala, who is pleading not guilty to filing a report against people he knew to be innocent and spreading false news that could alarm the public.

The case was put off to October when Mr Zahra will start making his case before the Magistrates' Court which will be deciding the case.
