Lawyers Peter Caruana Galizia and Andrew Borg Cardona have filed libel suits against the CEO of Malta Freeport Corporation, Aaron Farrugia, and the editor of the Labour Party newspaper Kullħadd, Toni Abela.

The libel suits concern an article published on the front page of the newspaper, entitled ‘€2.5 million in contracts’.

The article was published last Sunday, following which Mr Farrugia published a comment on Facebook and also tweeted a link to his comments based on the allegations contained in the article. 

Columnist Daphne Caruana Galizia filed similar complaints yesterday.
