The case supposedly happened on 1 May but has been kept under wraps. Police reports seen by Sunday newspaper Illum show that Borg was outside the victim's residence just 45 minutes after Grech sent an email to the Gozo Channel chairman and Borg in regards to an incident which occurred a day earlier.

According to Grech, the incident was witnessed by four English nationals who also tried to pacify the situation.

Minn minnom kellu r-ragun hadd ghadu ma jaf u jekk kienx hemm provokazzjoni jew le f'din!! U wara kollox x'jista' jehel jekk veru sar hekk....inqas minn 60 euro zgur ghax il-kaz jidher li hu ferm inqas gravi minn dak ta' Marsaxlokk. Mil-kliem ghal fatti hemm bahar jikkumbatti!!!

Last month the Maltese witnessed the marmalja at the PN's headquarters, and now we are reading how Gozo Channel is protecting a bully who assaulted a whistleblower. What's up next month?
