GRTU Director General Vincent Farrugia has instituted complaints for the initiation of criminal proceedings to be taken against the editor of the daily newspaper l-orizzont in relation to two separate articles, the contents of which, Mr Farrugia claims, constitute blatant libel due to their false contents and deceitful and dishonest accusations together with other very grave insinuations.

The articles in question appeared on 12 July entitled Frame-up pulit? as well as on 28 July which article was entitled Qrib stat pulizjesk?.

The GRTU Director General, newSTRING said, is seeking further legal advice in relation to additional actions for libel regarding a spate of unfounded allegations that appeared in select parts of the media over the past days, particularly in relation to the operation of Green MT, GRTU’s subsidiary, which allegations have proven to be entirely unsubstantiated and consequently speculative by the approving body and the competent authority.
