A court has turned down a prosecution request for the revocation of bail for Lisa May Camilleri, the woman at the heart of the wrongful conviction case, finding that bail conditions had not been breached.

Ms Camilleri is facing court action for having allegedly falsely claimed in court that her estranged husband had sexually molested their daughter. The evidence had led to conviction and imprisonment of Emanuel Camilleri, who was released after serving 400 days of a two-year jail term.

The police had claimed that bail conditions were breached when Ms Camilleri went to the bus terminus and asked two bus drivers about her husband, who works with Transport Malta. 

Ms Camilleri denied the claims.

Magistrate Ian Farrugia said that he did not doubt the version given by the prosecution and he was not impressed by the repeated kissing of the crucifix by Ms Camilleri and her mother in court two days ago.

It had been shown that both were at City Gate and had spoken to the drivers about Mr Camilleri.

At this point Ms Camilleri's mother said it is not true. She was ordered out of the court room.

However, the Magistrate said, this was not a breach of bail in terms of the law, and he turned down the request by the prosecution.

He warned Ms Camilleri about breaching bail and said that if she crossed the line, she would be imprisoned.
