A police request to revoke bail granted to a woman who allegedly falsely claimed in court that her estranged husband had sexually molested their daughter has been turned down.

The decree was handed down in the case where Lisa May Camilleri stands charged with perjury for allegedly making up sex abuse allegations against her former husband Emanuel.

Her evidence, coupled with that of her daughter, Leanne, who later admitted in court to perjury and was conditionally discharged for three years, had led to the conviction and imprisonment of Mr Camilleri.

He was released after serving 400 days of a two-year jail term.

The request to have Ms Camilleri’s bail revoked came after Mr Camilleri’s colleagues reported the fact that she went to the terminus and asked after him.

This was interpreted by the police as having breached her stringent bail conditions not to contact witnesses in any manner.

In a decree, Magistrate Ian Farrugia said the fact the woman had asked two of her former husband’s colleagues if he worked at the Valletta bus terminus did not technically breach bail conditions.

The case continues in October.
