Nationalist MEP candidate Stefano Mallia filed a libel suit yesterday against the lawyer and editor of the newspaper Kullħadd, Toni Abela, over a front page article published on Sunday.
The article entitled, ‘€1,000 everyday’, was libellous and meant to cause harm to his reputation, he said.
Standing outside the court house after he filed the suit, Mr Mallia said that the Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had promised a clean and positive campaign and yet he had been attacked repeatedly by the Labour Party media.
