The DOI has just issued the following statement by Minister Konrad Mizzi.
Yesterday Ms Daphne Caruana Galizia published a post on her blog about Minister Konrad Mizzi, his wife, Ms Sai Mizzi Liang and Ms Lindsey Gambin.
All allegations are false and in this respect it is important to clearly state the facts and dispel all lies.
The following facts clearly expose a number of lies stated by Ms Daphne Caruana Galizia.:
1) The marriage between Minister Konrad Mizzi and Ms Sai Mizzi Liang is as strong as ever and is characterized by trust. The suggestion of divorce is absurd.
2) Minister Konrad Mizzi and Lindsey Gambin have not been seeing each other in a relationship. Explicit details given in the blog are false, outrageous and irresponsible.
3) Lindsey Gambin did not join the trip to China last month as alleged on the blog.
4) The Contract of Employment for Ms Sai Mizzi Liang was tabled in Parliament by Government.
The above facts are backed by strong and categorical evidence which will be submitted in court.
Minister Mizzi and Ms Sai Mizzi Liang have filed a libel suit against Ms Caruana Galizia. Moreover they have also filed a criminal complaint with the Police (Kwerela).
Ms Gambin has also filed for libel against Ms Caruana Galizia.
All three parties will relish the opportunity to present the facts in court.
This attack on Minister Mizzi was preceded by other attacks by the Nationalist Party led by Dr Simon Busuttil which were also based on lies. The Minister's focus remains on delivery.
