(Adds minister's statement)

The police have still not decided whether to issue charges against Justice Minister Owen Bonnici over a car accident in which a man was injured last week.

“I have reviewed the case file and we are still in the process of speaking to witnesses so there is no decision yet,” Police Commissioner Peter Paul Zammit told The Sunday Times of Malta.

Dr Bonnici was driving his private car at around 9pm on April 3 when he crashed into another vehicle that was stranded on a curve road leading to Marsa from the Santa Venera tunnels.

In a statement this evening, Dr Bonnici said that he respected the privacy requested by the family of the person concerned and after giving the public all facts in the most open manner, he cooperated with the authorities at every stage and was still following the processes all other citizen went through in similar cases.
