MaltaToday is informed that the Gozo Magistrates Court has summoned Chris Said - who resigned his post last Thursday afternoon - to appear before Magistrate Edwina Grima next Tuesday, and respond to the charges that have been issued by the police.

An appeals court upheld a challenge made by Anthony Xuereb, in a civil case which Chris Said had appeared as legal counsel to British national Helen Milligan who bore the plaintiff's child.

The case goes back to 2007 and Milligan had won temporary custody of her child.

Last Sunday Chris Said accompanied Prime Minister and PN leader Lawrence Gonzi to a political meeting in Ghajnsielem in Gozo, where he intervened and said that he took the decision to resign "serenely."

He said that since he resigned, he has "slept well."

What guarantee do we have that the police will put up their "best possible" case? They have already attempted to dismiss the case, so they have a vested interest in being "proved right". The Attorney General is in the same position. Are we going to have the defence and the prosecution working towards the same end - acquittal? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Imma kif ma jisthux mill-poplu Malti tan-News Room tal-PBS, mela dan l-istazzjon Nazzjonali sar tal-gvern jew ta GonziPN. Fl-ahbarijiet tal-bierah u ta' dalghodu, waqt li habbru meta Dr. Said sejjer jidher quddiem il-Qorti, komplew billi taghaw il-verzjoni kollha ta' kif gara l-każ minn naha biss ta' Dr. Chris Said. Ma huwiex sewwa jekk Dr. Chris Said ma huwiex hati hallu l-qorti tiddeciedi imma mhux taghmlu l-pressjoni fuq il-qorti biex Dr. Said jigi liberat. Mela l-munita ta' Dr. Said faccata wahda fiha. Jekk rridu jikkommentaw, haga li ma jmisshomx ghamlu ghax il-kaz huwa sub judice, allura jmisshom gabu wkoll il-verzjoni tal-parti l-ohra. Meta hawn il-Korea ta' fuq jew, fejn tisma biss dak li jrid il-gvern. Meta l-oppozizzjoni taghmel xi stqarrija, tarhom igibu wkoll il-verzjoni tal-gvern jew ta' GonziPN jew tan-tnejn biex jirribadixxu dak li jkun qal il-LP, imma mhux hekk isir meta l-pozizzjoni tkun il-kontra. Dan barra li fuq il-każ ta' Dr. Said il-PBS beda' biha, qisu ma gara xejn fid-dinja hlief il-każ ta' Dr. Said. Isthu jekk tafu.
