Police Inspector Jason Sultana has denied that he sent blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia a recording of a conversation he had with lawyer Lynn Zahra about libel action which Dr Zahra was considering against the blogger.

Reacting to a challenge made by Dr Zahra yesterday, where she asked the Police Commissioner to take action against him, Inspector Sultana said in a statement that the allegation was not true, and Ms Caruana Galizia was prepared to testify that she did not get her information from him.

The inspector said he had filed a criminal complaint for slander against Dr Zahra following comments made in public, and he was himself prepared to file a challenge against Dr Zahra if action was not taken against her.

The inspector said he has also filed complained before the Chamber of Advocates and the Commission for the Administration of Justice.
