Labour Deputy Leader Michael Falzon has filed a libel suit against In-Nazzjon editor Alex Attard over a story that appeared in the Nationalist Party’s daily newspaper last week.
Dr Falzon said he felt libelled by a story published last Thursday which, he said, was aimed at tarnishing his reputation and exposing him to public ridicule. He claimed that In-Nazzjon twisted excerpts of an interview carried in The Times and took political mileage by giving these excerpts a completely different meaning to what he had said.
