Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri requested a ruling by the Speaker of the House over what he said was a misleading headline from a NET News article, which said that the police did not take action with regards to persons dressed indecently in public spaces.

In Parliament on Monday, Camilleri requested a ruling from Speaker Anglu Farrugia, where he referred to a NET News article which quoted parliamentary questions asked by PN MP Graziella Galea to Camilleri.

The article said that when replying to Galea's questions on whether the police has taken action against such persons who are dressed indecently in Malta and Gozo's roads, and what action was taken, the Minister said that the police force should focus more on its core police duties, and that he did not believe that the police should serve as a morality police.

Camilleri had said that later on, and they did add onto the same article that since 2024 till today, the police did take action against persons dressed indecently in public places, issuing 29 fines.

On Monday, Camilleri said that he was clear in his replies, that the police did take action, however, he said that this was "incorrect reporting," and requested a ruling.
