Gordon Pisani, the prime minister's head of communications, said this evening that he has no information which shows that Richard Cachia Caruana colluded in an way, directly or indirectly, with the Labour Party.

Mr Pisani issued a statement after he was included in a list of witnesses presented by Jeffrey Pollucino Orlando to the PN Executive. (see separate story)  Dr Pullicino Orlando is claiming that Mr Cachia Caruana 'colluded' with PL officials between 1996 and 1998, a claim which Mr Cachia Caruana denies.

In his statement, Mr Pisani said he wanted to immediately declare that he viewed Dr Pullicino Orlando's claims against Mr Cachia Caruana as being totally unfounded.

"I know of no fact or information which can in any way, directly or indirectly, serve as a basis for any of the claims being made by Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando against Mr Cachia Caruana".

Mr Pisani said he was ready to appear before the PN Executive to to confirm this statement and give his testimony.
