FAA coordinator questioned over Bahrija allegations

Astrid Vella, coordinator of Flimkien Ghal Ambjent Ahjar (FAA), was questioned at the Sliema police station yesterday after architect Robert Musumeci had asked the police to investigate allegations she made over the granting of a permit by Mepa for the construction of a farmhouse in Bahrija.

Mr Musumeci instituted a libel suit against Ms Vella over the allegations.

She has described the criminal investigation as "bullying" that was meant to "intimidate" voluntary organisations. She claimed it was a clear violation of the Aarhus Convention provisions on harassment of environmental activists to which Malta was a signatory.

The Times reported yesterday that Mepa auditor Joe Falzon concluded that the last permit issued in relation to the controversial project went against Mepa policy and should have never been granted.
