Justice Minister Owen Bonnici has been summoned to appear in court on October 3 over a traffic accident in April.

He was driving his private car and is charged with causing involuntary injury and damage to two cars.

The Justice Ministry said Dr Bonnici cooperated fully throughout the process and will continue to be subject to the same procedures as the ordinary citizen.

In a democracy, the law applies to all, the ministry said.
