Opposition spokesman for health Michael Farrugia has filed a libel suit against Lou Bondì claiming that allegations made during the programme Bondiplus were false and defamatory.
Dr Farrugia filed the suit, in the Magistrates' Court, against Mr Bondì over the programme broadcast on the national state station, PBS, on November 12.
According to Dr Farrugia, Mr Bondì had falsely alleged that he had asked the Broadcasting Authority to stop the programme Bondiplus. He held him liable in damages.
Lawyer Gavin Gulia signed the suit.
