Alfred Mifsud said he will step down from the post of deputy governor of the Central Bank.

He will be relinquishing his office at the end of June after having already handed in his resignation, he said in court today.

He was testifying in a civil dispute wherein Alfred Mifsud and his former partner Anna Zelbst are contesting their legal rights over a Tigné apartment, which had once been the couple's family home.

Taking the witness stand, Mr Mifsud declared that as the owner of the flat in question, water and electricity meters were still registered in his name and the relative bills were mailed to the Tigné apartment.

Ever since moving out last year, he has continued to hand over some €500 weekly to his children. This was surely more than enough to cover utility payments relative to the apartment they shared with their mother, Mr Mifsud said.

The role of the former Mid-Med Bank and One Productions chairman has been overshadowed by his personal court case. He had been appointed to the role in May 2015.

The case before Mr Justice Silvio Meli continues.

Lawyer Paul Lia appeared on behalf of Mr Mifsud. Lawyer Albert Libreri appeared on behalf of Ms Zelbst.
