The Labour Party said today that the fact that the Attorney General had appealed the court's decision on alleged electoral corrupt practices confirmed the credibility of its deputy leader, Anglu Farrugia, who had raised the case with the police.

Dr Farrugia had claimed that a man threatened two of his employees and warned them to vote PN. The first court had found no corrupt practice and said there was nothing wrong with a person encouraging others to vote and providing transport.

The PL said the facts presented in this case were well founded and clear.

The AG had decided to appeal despite attempts by the prime minister and the PN to downplay the fact that a person had said she was threatened to vote PN, or she would lose her job, the PL said.

The PL said its ultimate aim was for people to be able to vote in full freedom.
