Joseph Gerada, a lawyer who accompanied Economy Minister Chris Cardona on an official visit to Germany, is to sue blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia after she reported that he had accompanied the minister in a brothel. The minister also said he would sue yesterday, while denying the claims. Ms Caruana Galizia has stood by her story. The ministry also claimed that the Opposition and the blogger have been 'acting in collusion'. "Their mutually-endorsed strategy of defamation - so as to impede the government's work - uses Caruana Galizia's blog as a platform to propagate lies that no serious or earnest publication would want to be associated with," the ministry said. "Minister Cardona considers these blatant and baseless attacks as instruments for moral violence and character assassination - that is, damaging political reporting. The minister has assured that this unmitigated provocation will lead nowhere, and he will continue with his work on behalf of the government for the benefit of the country."
