Pietà mayor Sunny Attard yesterday filed a judicial protest against his predecessor Malcolm Mifsud and against Victor Camilleri as the editor of the newspaper Il-Mument.

Mr Attard made reference to an article by Dr Mifsud published in last Sunday's issue of the weekly newspaper.

In the article, Mr Attard said, it was alleged that he was wanted by the police because he was some kind of a criminal.

The current mayor called on Dr Mifsud and Mr Camilleri to publish a formal apology in the newspaper's next issue or face a libel suit.

Lawyer José Herrera signed the writ.
