Former opposition leader Alfred Sant yesterday moved a breach of privilege complaint against Communications Minister Austin Gatt saying the minister had claimed in the House that he (Dr Sant) had known what was happening at Mitts but had spinned the story to Malta Today in order to mislead police investigations.
