Lawyer Peter Fenech yesterday filed two libel suits against the head of One news Miriam Dalli, One journalist Anthony David Gatt, editor of KullĦadd newspaper Felix Aguis and KullĦadd journalist Aleander Balzan.

Dr Fenech claimed that false allegations were aired on One TV and published in KullĦadd.

He complained that on Sunday One TV alleged that Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi forgave him a debt of €256,217 (Lm109,964) that he owed the government.

The same allegations were published in the newspaper, he claimed in his second suit.

Dr Fenech said these allegations were false and intended to harm his reputation.
