With reference to the report which appeared on Saturday under the heading Nadur Rape Case: Court Speaks Of Attempt To Buy Girl's Silence, it must be pointed out that the Criminal Court did not raise the personal guarantees imposed by the Magistrates' Court but, rather, removed the personal guarantee and increased the sums of money the accused had to deposit as security for bail.

In fact, the Criminal Court revoked the deposit of €1,500 and the personal guarantee of €10,000 in respect of each of the accused and imposed instead a deposit of €9,000 in the case of the two men charged with corrupting a girl and a deposit of €23,000 in respect of the two who stand accused of raping, corrupting and holding the girl against her will.

The error is regretted.
