Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party welcomes this morning’s decision by Judge Wenzu Mintoff in which the Court found in favour of the Ombudsman in the dispute which had arisen with former Minister Manwel Mallia. The Ombudsman was obstructed from investigating complaints which were received from Army officers.

Carmel Cacopardo Deputy Chairman of AD stated that it is hoped that after this decision Government will desist from further obstructing the Ombudsman in the carrying out of his duties.
