The Central Bank's deputy governor Alfred Mifsud is to resign by end of June

Central Bank deputy governor Alfred Mifsud told a court this morning that he handed in his resignation and will be stepping down by the end of next month.

Mifsud was responding to questions by a lawyer representing his former partner Anna Zelbst in a civil dispute over the legal rights to a Sliema apartment.

The pair had been in a relationship for 20 years and had children together before ending it in 2006. The relationship was briefly rekindled in 2009 when Mifsud asked for reconciliation.

Mifsud had requested the eviction of Zelbst under court order from the 15th-floor apartment at Fort Cambridge, Tigne, claiming that the apartment belongs to him.

Taking the witness stand today, Mifsud reiterated that as the owner of the apartment, pointing to water and electricity meters still being registered in his name.

Ever since moving out in February 2016, Mifsud continued to hand over some €500 weekly to his children.

“This is surely more than enough to cover utility payments relative to the apartment they shared with their mother,” Mifsud told the court.

The case continues.

Lawyer Paul Lia appeared for Mifsud.

Lawyer Albert Libreri appeared for Zelbst.

Judge Silvio Meli presided.
