Journalist Joe Mifsud has been ordered to pay Dr Louis Galea €2,000 after a court found him guilty of having libelled the former minister in the book Id-Djarju ta' Ciro Del Negro, published in 1997 by the Labour Party's publishing house.
Dr Galea had objected to inferences to him where the book mentioned drug trafficking and attempts at bribery for major projects such as the new hospital. Dr Mifsud had denied the claims.
