Bondiplus presenter claims Where's Everybody ‘target of possible attacks’

Bondiplus presenter and Where's Everybody? director Lou Bondì has asked Police Commissioner John Rizzo to provide "protection", claimimg he feared that the offices, studios and employees of his production house, which produces several programmes for the Public Broadcasting Services, might be the target of "possible attacks".

In the email he sent to Rizzo, copied to the media, Bondì said he has "reason to fear that in the coming days, during and after the counting of votes, our offices and studios in two deferent localities could be attacked. These attacks could also be on the workers and property".

Bondì said as directors and citizens the company was exercising its right to request protection. "I am sure that just like you found three high officials to discriminately arrest a woman in the middle of the night, you can surely find the human resources to grant us the protection we are requesting," he wrote.

Police yesterday brought publicist Daphne Caruana Galizia, the Malta Independent columnist, in for questioning at the Mosta police station on the strength of a duty magistrate's order over complaints that she had breached electoral silence.

Bondì arrived on the scene at Caruana Galizia's house with his crew, asking police inspectors to explain why they were arresting Caruana Galizia.

In his statement, Bondì  warned the  Commissioner of Police that Where's Everybody Co. Ltd would hold the polcie force responsible for any damages the company might incur if his warning was ignored by the police.
