Justice Minister Owen Bonnici has sued PN daily In-Nazzjon for what he said was the malicious manner of how a traffic accident in which he was involved was reported.

The minister had been driving his personal car when he crashed into another car which was stationary in a dangerous spot just outside Sta Venera tunnels a week ago today. The owner, who was in front of the car, was injured.

The minister said he had cooperated fully with the police and the family of the car's owner.

He regretted that an unfortunate accident which could happen to anyone had been used for political ends to harm his reputation.
