The Opposition wants the head of the EU’s anti-fraud agency, Giovanni Kessler, to testify before a parliamentary committee hearing a breach of privilege complaint against PN leader Simon Busuttil.

Speaker Anġlu Farrugia ruled in October that, prima facie, Dr Busuttil committed a breach of privilege when he accused Prime Minister Joseph Muscat of political interference in a police investigation.

The probe in question was in connection with bribery allegations that had forced John Dalli’s resignation as European Commissioner in 2012.

In a letter to the Speaker, Opposition MP Chris Said, standing in for Dr Busuttil who was not allowed to sit on the committee since he was directly involved in the case, said the first witness would be Dr Kessler.
