Trouble in Malta

Mrs. Michelle Muscat
First Lady of Malta

There's an odd case brewing in Malta. A gunner has gone to court to protest the cancellation of orders sending him to Sandhurst for a training course and other adverse personnel actions taken against him. It seems that military authorities disregarded his requests for redress, compelling him to go to law. Michelle Muscat, the wife of the prime minister of the Mediterranean island nation, has attempted, at the gunner's request, to mediate the issue, according to this report.
