“Dear Editor
I am writing to you on behalf of my client, Mr. Franco Scicluna.
On Tuesday, July 2, 2024, a notice was published by the newsroom you manage, or to which you belong, on a news portal and its associated social accounts. This story stated that my client was wanted by the police, based on a statement issued by the communication office of the Malta Police Force.
Shortly after this initial statement, the police issued another statement clarifying that Mr. Scicluna was no longer wanted.
In a hearing before Magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech on Monday, July 8, it was revealed that my client was never summoned by the court, and that this was the first hearing of the case. Furthermore, the case related to the Department for Industrial and Employment Relations was dismissed during this hearing.
This demonstrates the innocence of my client. Additionally, it suggests that the original action may have been intended to harm my client and his business. It is deeply troubling when justice and media are used to undermine individuals.
Given your newsroom’s commitment to integrity, we request that you broadcast and publish with the same prominence the news that Mr. Scicluna has been cleared of any accusations. We request that this news is publish on both your portal and social media accounts, using the attached photo.
Attached to this email you shall find the documentation signed by the registrar.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the correction be published within 24 hours from the receipt of this email.
Sincerely Yours,”
