Opposition leader Adrian Delia on Thursday filed a judicial protest requesting the Attorney General to hand over the full version of the Egrant inquiry report.

In the letter, Delia said that the Opposition should not be denied access to the information about witnesses and documentation in the report, which could shed light on the truth.

He argued that the Attorney General’s decision to give a copy to Prime Minister Joseph Muscat was creating a political imbalance in favour of the government.

The inquiry led by Magistrate Aaron Bugeja found no evidence linking Muscat, his wife Michelle or their family to secret Panama company Egrant.

The Attorney General’s Office refused to publish the full inquiry, saying that the conclusions, released last Sunday, had only been made public due to the “exceptional” nature of the inquiry and its impact on public life.

Muscat said he intended to publish the entire inquiry, making sure its publication did not intrude into the privacy of third parties, hinder investigations and possible proceedings.
