President-elect George Abela has been awarded €2,000 after a court this morning upheld a libel complaint against GWU official Carmelo (Charles) Vella over an article published in l-orizzont in August 2004.
The article was entitled Il-Kwistjoni tal-Konferenza Generali Straordinarja tat-Taqsima Settur Pubbliku - Aktar rapportagg zleali mill-media tal-PN.
It was based on a statement, which had also been circulated to the media, which the court said made false and libellous allegations about Dr Abela.
