FORMER Senator Stuart Syvret remained defiant yesterday as he made a last-ditch attempt to get criminal charges against him dropped.
The ex-Health Minister, who denies two charges of breaching the data protection law and two motoring offences, spoke for almost two hours in the Magistrate’s Court at the opening of an abuse of process hearing which, if successful, would see all charges thrown out.
Mr Syvret claimed that the investigation, his arrest and the subsequent legal action taken against him was ‘malicious, politically motivated and manifestly illegal’.
Earlier yesterday, an eleventh-hour bid for a judicial review of the case – made to the Royal Court by the former Senator at 7 am – was unsuccessful.
