Retired Judge Toni Abela gave an interview to the Times of Malta and stressed that the judiciary should be impartial. In his sentence handed in the Constitutional case to invoke the right to publish Yorgen Fenech’s chats, Judge Toni Abela used excerpts from Saviour Balzan‘s writings to describe my work.
Toni Abela is an old friend of Saviour Balzan and was also his lawyer. Saviour Balzan also has an interest in the Constitutional case because chats of him conspiring with Yorgen Fenech were also published. Yorgen Fenech paid a host of editors and journalists and even politicians to attack his critics such as Jason Azzopardi and David Casa.
The vexatious and libelous comments made by Saviour Balzan were used word by word by Judge Toni Abela despite the fact that these comments were made solely with the intention to harm my work also in a commercial way. The Judge clearly intended to attack this media house by copying these vexatious claims.
Neville Gafa has just a libel case for publishing and circulating Saviour Balzan’s vexatious comments: the same comments made by the Judge and copied from Saviour Balzan that I used Yorgen Fenech’s chats to blackmail people. This blatant lie is only made to delegitimise my work and this press. Neville Gafa was compelled to pay for my lawyer and the Court’s costs for circulating these vexatious claims.
Of course, I can not libel the Judge, and the Judge acted abusively as he attacked my work and my press from a position of power knowing very well I don’t have any legal recourse against his comments. Had the Judge actually been impartial, he would have taken note of my libel case, the actual consequences of the publication of the chats, and used descriptions and references about me which are objective instead of using a reference taken directly from his old friend and client.
