A "serious story" about Nationalist Party MP Jason Azzopardi will soon emerge and expose him as a hypocrite, Prime Minister Robert Abela said on Wednesday as he slammed the Opposition MP.
Abela said Azzopardi had made claims in parliament about government bullying and intimidation to try and deflect attention from a "serious problem" that he would soon face.
Azzopardi told parliament on Tuesday that a "top level" inland revenue official was arrested without reason in 2013 in order to pressure him to resign. He alleged that principal permanent secretary Mario Cutajar had used his influence to intimidate the official.
Cutajar has denied the allegations, while Azzopardi has challenged him to sue him.
