He filed the suit against Maltastar.com journalist David Vella over an article which was posted on the website on Wednesday.

Yesterday, Mr Abela filed another suit against his predecessor, Grace Borg, and the Public Broadcasting Services’ head of news, Sylvana Cristina, over comments made during Bondiplus last week.
