A Lance Bombardier in the Armed Forces of Malta has filed a judicial protest against the Commander of the AFM denying one of the reasons given for him to have missed out on promotion.

Raymond Psaila in his protest against Brig. Carmel Vassallo, said he had been passed over for promotion several times and had filed a complaint to the Ombudsman.

The Commander in his reaction to the Ombudsman's inquiries had given two reasons why promotion was not granted. One of the reasons was correct, but the second one - that he had acted incorrectly with an irregular migrant - was untrue.

Bombardier Psaila called on the commander to indicate the person he was alleged to have acted incorrectly with and also to back his claim that he had acted incorrectly.
