Jason Azzopardi has decided to renounce his brief as a lawyer for NGO Repubblika in its case concerning allegations of wrongdoing by army officials at sea.

“I, in no way want my professional role as a lawyer to be used by the prime minister as a weapon to distract the public from the substance of the matter,” Azzopardi, who also serves as a Nationalist Party MP, said.

Azzopardi said he would also be consulting the PN leadership before taking on any similarly politically sensitive cases in future.
