Columnist Daphne Caruana has been fined €2,400 after being found guilty by a court of defaming former Azzjoni Nazzjonali Repubblikana spokesman Martin Degiorgio, whom she had described as a fascist.
The case dates back to 2006 when Ms Caruana Galizia had penned two opinion pieces in The Malta Independent on Sunday. The first titled ‘Black shirts and blacker hearts’ was published on May 21, whereas the second one titled ‘Martin and friends make the news’ was published on June 18.
In an application filed that same year, Mr Degiorgio had sued the columnist for damages over various her remarks including similarities which she had made between him and far-right leader Norman Lowell.
Ms Caruana Galizia had also quoted the ANR spokesman warning that “Africans risked turning Malta into the toilet of the Mediterranean” – a claim allegedly made in the International Herald Tribune which was reported by another portal in Malta.
Mr Degiorgio had argued that such remarks had portrayed him as a person harbouring extreme views and a fascist, and that he even could have been involved in arson attacks against journalists and members of the Jesuit community working with migrants.
