Three top Water Services Corporation officials yesterday filed a libel suit against The Malta Independent on Sunday over an article this week about their participation in a conference in Singapore.
The article, ‘Government silent on WSC CEO’s Singapore Grand Prix visit’, reported on an alleged three-day extension so they could watch the F1 races last summer.
CEO Frederick Azzopardi, chief officer Robert Schembri and manager Stefan Riolo sued editor David Lindsay, claiming the report was libellous and defamatory.
