It is asserted that during the initial moments of his arrest, individuals purportedly linked to the Curia gained access to the Parish Priest’s House in Marsaxlokk, where they either dispersed, destroyed, or tampered with crucial documentary evidence stored in Fr. Luke’s office.

Following Fr. Luke’s release on bail during the initial proceedings, the Court additionally imposed a restriction forbidding the Priest from being present in the same locality. 

Furthermore, during the latest hearing, a court-appointed expert confirmed the disappearance of Fr. Luke’s laptop, which had been presented in court. Strangely, the laptop had already been examined by the police prior to its court presentation, without any judicial scrutiny.

There is widespread agreement nationally that the presiding Magistrate plays a pivotal role in preventing such injustices. 

Additionally, Fr. Luke asserts that his right to a fair trial is further compromised as the police failed to inform the Duty Magistrate of their actions, constituting a flagrant violation of the law.
