Nationalist Party leadership contender Adrian Delia last night once again denied accusations of participation in illicit activities as alleged by blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia.

In a statement, Delia said Caruana Galizia does not want to relinquish her grip on the Nationalist Party.

“I never had, do not have and will not have money abroad, much less (money) coming from illicit activities,” he said in a statement.

He said he has filed two libel suits against Daphne Caruana Galizia and wil continue to defend his and his family’s name against unfounded and baseless accusations.

“The time has come for councillors and members to decide who will really lead the PN,” he said.
