MPs Evarist Bartolo and Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando have filed a police report following suspicion that their mobile phones may be hacked.

The Divorce Movement, of which both MPs form part, having co-sponsored the Bill for Divorce, said that the two were on the phone at 8.40 p.m. yesterday following an activity held by the movement when they heard a whirring sound and the mobile connection was cut off.

"This gives rise to the suspicion that their conversation was being hacked," the movement said.

"Both MPs and the IVA movement consider this to be a potentially serious matter and a formal complaint has been made to the Commissioner of Police this afternoon. A thorough investigation would be in order."
