Independent MP Rosianne Cutajar has withdrawn a defamation lawsuit against author and blogger Mark Camilleri just days before her scheduled testimony.

Cutajar, a former parliamentary secretary and ex-Labour MP, had initiated the lawsuit in 2021 in response to claims made by Camilleri in his book and on Facebook. (Times of Malta)
