Following Giovanni Bonello’s letter (‘De Valette, four months later’, The Sunday Times of Malta, April 28), I would like to inform the judge that the undersigned “enterprising amateur researcher who hit the front page of The Sunday Times with a loud bang”, also undertook “proper research relying on documents” and never intended to “rubbish [Bonello’s] conclusions”.
I respect Bonello’s research and contributions, along with all others who have our history at heart, and I want to make it clear that I have no personal grudge against Bonello as he seems to implicate.
