The Marsa mayor has resigned after claims relating to his personal life.
A Labour Party spokesman said the party had on Monday night received an anonymous letter about mayor Chris Spiteri, which included testimony given in the ecclesiastical tribunal during his annulment proceedings.
This testimony included claims of sexual misconduct.
The spokesman said the PL only became aware of the claims on Monday. Soon after receiving the information, party officials sent for Mr Spiteri and requested his resignation.
