MALTA EDITOR IN TROUBLE OVER CASINO ADVERTORIAL
30 January 2009
Senior court slaps outspoken editor on the wrist
Saviour Balzan, the outspoken editor of the Malta Today
newspaper, survived a long-running legal debate with the
local law this week, getting a minimal Euro 7 000 slap
on the wrist for publishing a land casino advertorial
back in 2005.
Balzan was first taken to a lower court and acquitted on
grounds that the laws invoked did not adequately define
the nature of an advertorial advertisement, but the case
was then taken before the Malta Appeals Court.
There, Judge Giannino Caruana Demajo found culpability
in the running of an editorial on the Dragonara Casino
Brasserie and Bar....but imposed only a light penalty.
