Allied Newspapers reaches agreement with former managing director Adrian Hillman

Allied Newspapers Limited have reached a private agreement with former managing director Adrian Hillman concerning "any claims they have or may have had against each other. As a result, all litigation is being withdrawn.",

Mr Hillman left his post after an inquiry was launched into alleged editorial interference.

The inquiry, which begun in March 2016, involved allegations made by blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia that Mr Hillman may have received bribes from Keith Schembri after it was ascertained that he held a secret company on the British Virgin Islands.

Mr Hillman demanded compensation in front of the Industrial Tribunal after he offered his resignation on May 25, claiming constructive dismissal.

In September, Allied Newspapers Ltd filed a judicial letter asking Mr Hillman to refund company money he used without authorisation.
