Zarb files libel suit against PM

General Workers' Union general secretary Tony Zarb has filed a libel suit against Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, PN general secretary Paul Borg Olivier, PN president Marthese Portelli and medialink head of news Nathaniel Attard. The suit, Mr Zarb said, relates to their statement published yesterday and uploaded on maltarightnow.com alleging that he had made declarations which could be corrupt and abusive. Such a statement, Mr Zarb claimed, was libellous and harmed his reputation. The Prime Minister and the Nationalist Party have called on Mr Zarb to resign over his comments.
