Labour MP defends statements made over Cachia Caruana
Opposition whip Joe Mizzi says this was not the first time he raised points over Richard Cachia Caruana, insists he will not intervene further into the PN's internal 'battles'
Labour MP Joe Mizzi has issued a statement insisting he will not be "involved in any internal GonziPN battles".
In a statement issued this morning, together with a recorded interview of Mizzi, backbencher Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando said that Mizzi had implicated Richard Cachia Caruana in a clear case of criminal interference with the course of justice in relation to a cocaine party organised by individuals who were close to Cachia Caruana.
In a reaction to several requests from members of the press, Mizzi said that there was nothing new in his comments.
"There was nothing new in what I said in that interview, especially since I raised these points several times, even in parliament," he said in a statement.
He added that he wanted to clarify that he wasn't speaking because he was mentioned by Pullicino Orlando as one of his witnesses, but that he had already made his comments public before in seveal occasions.
